Introduction. The first workers' compensation laws were enacted in Texas in 1913 and held fast to the principle that employers should be allowed to choose whether to offer workers' compensation benefits to their employees.
This new law amended the Labor Law and the Workers' Compensation Law to establish a presumption of employment in the construction industry. The new statute took effect on October 26, 2010, and for workers' compensation purposes, applies to accidents which occur on or after that date.
