TX HB2022

Eliminates the statute of limitations entirely for civil lawsuits seeking personal injury damages arising from sexual assault of a child, aggravated sexual assault of a child, continuous sexual abuse of a young child or disabled individual, indecency with a child, certain sexual trafficking offenses, and compelling prostitution of a child or disabled individual

Changes current law that required suits to be filed within 30 years of when the cause of action accrued, allowing victims to file suit at any time regardless of when the abuse occurred

Applies retroactively to causes of action arising from child sexual abuse that occurred before the effective date, even if the previous statute of limitations had already expired

Does not affect final judgments in litigation concluded before the effective date where the limitations period was not the determining factor in the outcome

Takes effect September 1, 2025
