Texas parental alienation — one parent influencing child against other parent — can lead to custody modification, contempt findings, sanctions, and reunification therapy. Difficult to prove but increasingly recognized.

Texas hospital-acquired infections (MRSA, C. diff, sepsis) cause 100,000+ US deaths annually + are often preventable through proper infection control — strong negligence + medical malpractice claims.

Texas criminal restitution requires defendants to repay victims for losses caused by the crime — mandatory in many cases, enforceable as civil judgment, often non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
