It looks like it was to me.

Correct. It's been that way since I began teaching LTC in 2012. I never paid attention to what date it was enacted, but according to the statue link you posted it was first put into the Civil Code in 1995, then amended in 2007.

But, to be clear, this doesn't prevent anyone from bringing a civil suit against him; it just establishes that if they do sue him that he owes them nothing in damages. And since most civil attorneys work on a retainer for a percentage of the jackpot, it likely will limit how many will be jumping on the bandwagon for a percentage of $0.00.

And if they did bring a civil suit, I would imagine the judge would dismiss it outright when the defense brings up Sec 83.001

Asian wig shop keeper pummeled by a woman customer. Watch the video.

She also beats up the two others that came to her defense.

Poor woman will need facial surgery.

8 men hold people at gunpoint inside restaurant and game room

Watch the surveillance video at the top of the article.

Note they jog up to the business, stop short, & somewhat 'stack on the door' before breaching the glass to make entry.

As the camera view changes, note that most (but not all) have decent muzzle awareness as they flow through the door with depressed muzzles. (Not the guy with the AR, though. He muzzles his partners a couple times throughout the robbery).

Note the actions of the slender guy by the pool table, not running around doing priorities of work like the others. Is he on the phone talking with an exterior security team/early warning via a Bluetooth headset, or just fidgeting with his hoodie & mask? Is he the time keeper ensuring they don't linger too long?

Note a couple of the robbers are wearing backpacks on backwards, with the tops unzipped/opened for ease of loading the loot.

They all arrived in a single SUV without plates, & departed via a different vehicle leaving that SUV behind (... with the security camera equipment they had just taken from the crime scene...).

Surprise/Speed.
Coordinated fires (sealing off the objective)
Violence of Action.
Planned Withdrawal.

Somewhat sloppy, but satisfied the principals for a military raid.

God, please be with the people of Houston.
