It may be strange to think that a person who trespasses on another’s property could be afforded any level of protection under premises liability laws. In Texas, however, property owners could be held liable for a trespassing person’s injuries if they intentionally cause harm to the trespasser, or their gross negligence causes the trespasser to come to harm. Of course there are exceptions, such as in cases where the trespasser has entered the property to cause harm to its owner, but the above are the general rules that apply to trespassing and premises liability. Another issue that may come up regarding trespassing and injuries on another’s property concerns children. If a property owner has a swimming pool or pond, for example, that is wholly unprotected from children who could come on the property and drown, that property owner could be held accountable.
