Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is a form of violence that involves any type of unwanted sexual contact or behavior. Texas law defines sexual assault as intentionally or knowingly causing penetration or contact with the genitals, anus, or breasts of another person without their consent. It also includes acts where the victim is unable to give consent due to factors such as age, mental incapacity, or intoxication. Sexual assault can take many forms of non-consensual sexual acts, including but not limited to:
Rape
This includes any type of forced sexual intercourse, whether vaginal, anal, or oral.
Sexual Touching or Groping
This involves any unwanted and non-consensual touching of a person’s intimate body parts.
Forced Kissing or Fondling
This includes being forced to engage in any type of kissing or touching without consent.
Sexual Coercion
This occurs when someone uses threats, blackmail, manipulation, or other forms of pressure to force someone into committing a sexual act.
Statutory Rape
This is when a person engages in sexual activity with someone who is below the legal age of consent. In Texas, the age of consent is 17.
Incest
This involves any type of sexual activity between family members, including stepparents and stepchildren.

Premises Liability
Texas courts follow a status-based approach in premises liability cases, which means that the duty a landowner owes to a visitor depends largely on the latter’s legal status. There are three primary classifications: invitees, licensees, and trespassers. The duty of care a landowner owes hinges on the visitor’s classification as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser, with invitees afforded the highest level of protection and trespassers the least.
Invitees
An invitee is someone who enters the property with the owner’s knowledge and for the mutual benefit of both parties. Landowners owe the highest duty to invitees. They must inspect the premises for unsafe conditions, correct known hazards, and warn invitees of dangers.
Licensees
A licensee is someone who enters the property with permission but for their own purposes, not for the benefit of the landowner. Social guests typically fall into this category. The landowner must not willfully or wantonly cause injury and must warn the licensee of any known dangerous conditions that are not obvious.
Trespassers
A trespasser is someone who enters the property without permission. This category includes not only those who intentionally cross property boundaries but also those who unknowingly wander onto land. The landowner owes the least duty to trespassers, but must refrain from willfully or through gross negligence injuring them.
