Relating to liability for land surveying services in or in connection with certain construction or services contracts.
HB 2203 modifies Texas law to limit liability clauses in construction contracts involving land surveyors. It makes void any contract term requiring contractors to pay for damages caused by a land surveyor's defects in surveys or negligence, or requiring land surveyors to pay for damages caused by owner negligence. The bill specifically affects construction contracts for buildings, roads, or other property improvements, directly impacting land surveyors, contractors, and property owners. It removes enforceable requirements for indemnifying parties in these specific liability scenarios.
