Relating to the accrual of a cause of action for purposes of certain laws governing certain construction liability claims.
HB 1922 modifies when a legal claim begins for certain construction liability cases under Texas Government Code Chapter 2272. It specifies that for this chapter only, a claim accrues on the date a required report is postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service. This change does not affect other legal dates, such as insurance policy coverage or statute of limitations deadlines for other purposes. The bill directly impacts construction companies, contractors, and claimants involved in Chapter 2272 claims. It became law on June 20, 2025, and takes effect September 1, 2025.
