HB 179 amends the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code to eliminate the statute of limitations for civil suits related to personal injuries resulting from specific offenses against children. The bill specifies that there will be no limitations period for civil suits if the injury arises from offenses such as sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, continuous sexual abuse, certain forms of human trafficking, compelling prostitution, or indecency involving a child. HB 179 applies retroactively to causes of action, allowing cases that previously expired due to limitations to be filed, except where a final judgment has already been reached.
