Hey, I thought we had civil immunity now in deadly force cases, but that isn't mentioned in the new handbook, instead I found this:

PC §9.06. CIVIL REMEDIES UNAFFECTED. The fact that conduct is
justified under this chapter does not abolish or impair any remedy for
the conduct that is available in a civil suit.

What gives?

Obviously they need update it a bit more!

This provision is still in the Penal Code, but it has never created a civil cause of action. All it does is note that the various justifications found in Chp. 9 do not abolish any civil remedies that may be available elsewhere in the law.

The Texas Civil Practices & Remedies Code contains the new immunity from civil liability provisions from SB378. So TPC §9.06 is not a problem for us.

So, would you agree that DPS should withdraw that paragraph from the handgun laws booklet since it is notwithstanding pertaining to CHL?

I think it's misleading, especially if DPS isn't teaching the new immunity to civil liability provisions of SB378. I don't really see any point in leaving it in in booklet. My instructor renewal class in Oct. 4th, so I'll be interested to see if they have changed the course, based upon instructor complaints about not teaching all of the "Castle Doctrine" bill provisions. Apparently the handbook has it, but it's not being taught in the class.

Fair enough, however, I was also reviewing the "Civil Practices & Remedies Code" last night (http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/do ... #83.001.00) and didn't see the verbiage that was included in SB378. I guess that site needs updating....

Thanks for the info.[/url]

Cipher,

As a general rule, the official web site will take until about March until it is updated with the new laws. There is a little note at the top syaing to expect it in February, 2008 but the past two or three times, it was a little later than that.

I don't know why it takes them so long and wish they would do it much quicker. To get the current laws, try the Lexis-Nexis web site for the new edition of Gould's. It should be available now.
