Survival is step one. We’re step two.
Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor discuss church security liability in Texas and a potential gap in the immunity protections provided to churches and volunteer security personnel.
This week, we break down the civil immunity Texas law provides when force or deadly force is legally justified, the rules governing volunteer security teams at churches and other places of worship, and the protections available to religious organizations and their security personnel. We also examine what happens when conduct is alleged to be reckless, willfully negligent, or carried out with conscious indifference—and whether those exceptions could create an unexpected gap in liability protection.
Topics covered:• Civil immunity after a justified use of force or deadly force in Texas.• Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 83.001.• Volunteer church security under Texas Occupations Code § 1702.333.• Who can provide volunteer security services at a place of worship?• Civil liability protections for religious organizations and security personnel.• Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 84.0067.• Immunity involving intentional acts and the possession or use of a firearm.• Reckless conduct, willful negligence, and conscious indifference under § 84.007.• Is there an immunity gap for volunteer church security personnel?• When could a church or security volunteer potentially face civil liability?• What churches and volunteer security teams should understand before tragedy strikes.
Richard and Emily explain how these Texas statutes interact and why understanding the limits of civil immunity can be just as important as understanding the protections themselves.
