Relating to civil liability of property owners relating to motorcycle instruction and training courses.

Contracts

Existing leases and Master Service Agreements (MSAs) with motorcycle schools require revision.

• Indemnification: Strengthen clauses to explicitly cover legal defense costs. While the statute provides a defense, plaintiffs will likely plead "gross negligence" to survive dismissal; you need the tenant to fund that legal battle.
• Permitted Use: Restrict land use strictly to "motorcycle instruction and training courses" as defined by Chapter 662. Social gatherings or rallies hosted by the tenant may fall outside the statutory protection.

Hiring/Training

• Vendor Verification: You must verify that the tenant (the school) and their instructors hold valid certifications from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). If the instruction is unauthorized, the statutory shield may be voided.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Course Logs: Maintain a timestamped log of when courses are active. The liability limitation applies only "during the instruction or course." You must be able to prove the injury occurred within this window.
• Incident Reports: Update internal forms to distinguish between injuries caused by *instructional error* (e.g., student loss of control) versus *property defects*.

Fees & Costs

• Insurance Premiums: There are no new state fees. Conversely, this statute lowers the risk profile for this tenant class. Owners should contact insurance brokers to negotiate reduced Commercial General Liability (CGL) premiums for these specific leases.
