Relating to certain construction liability claims.

HB 2021 amends Texas law to clarify which construction liability claims fall under Chapter 2272 of the Government Code. It defines "Critical Infrastructure Facility" and explicitly excludes energy and infrastructure sites like natural gas stations, oil wells, pipelines, dams, and telecom facilities from this chapter’s scope. The bill applies to claims involving defects in public buildings/public works, or private construction contracts exceeding $10 million, affecting contractors, subcontractors, and private owners. Key provisions limit the chapter’s applicability to specific project types and financial thresholds, narrowing the range of claims subject to these liability rules. The bill is currently pending in the Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence committee.
