Default Texas is for R/C!

Picked this up in another forum, thought it worth passing on. This [link=http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=80R&Bill=HB1183]Bill[/link] has passed both houses of the Texas legislature and been sent to Governor Perry for signing.

"HB 1183 would limit the liability of landowners who provide safe
locations for radio-control aircraft enthusiasts to practice their hobby.
Radio-control flying is a popular and worthwhile activity. When model
aircraft flying groups stage tournaments and events, they often donate all
profits for to charitable organizations within the community.


Appears better than the deal in CA, as liability of private property owners that allow use of their land for R/C is limited, not just public entities. Texas takes the lead on getting a leash law enacted for land sharks.
Gonna get me a 6 pack of Lone Star and have a quiet celebration. Hoss, you should toss a couple down with your Representative Otto.
