Under Texas state laws, all swimming pools must comply with requirements for their safety. All pools should be enclosed by a fence that is at least four feet tall and made of materials that are not easy to climb. They should be secured with locks that are out of reach for small children. Additionally, property owners with pools are also required to place adequate safety measures around the pool, such as adequate supervision for children, depth and hazard signage, lifeguards, and proper maintenance. In the event that an accident occurs in the swimming pool as a result of the failure of property owners to secure the pool area, liability will arise on the part of the pool owner. For a claim for injuries arising from a swimming pool accident to prosper under Texas law, the following must be established: 

• Extent of Injuries – The injuries suffered by the claimant must be duly established by competent evidence. That is, the claiming party must have suffered actual damages as a result of the swimming pool accident. 
• Breach of Duty of Care – The property owner or operator must have breached their duty of care by failing to uphold the necessary safety standards. This breach may involve negligence in maintaining the pool area, providing supervision, or implementing safety measures. 
• Causation – The breach of duty must be the direct cause of the accident and resulting injuries. The injured party must demonstrate that the negligence of the property owner or operator directly led to the accident.
