from
indemnifying third parties pursuant to the Texas Constitution (Article 3, Section 52) except as specifically provided b
y law or as
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. A provision in a contract to indemnify or hold a party harmless is a pro
mise to pay for
any expenses the indemnified party incurs, if a specified event occurs, such as breaching the terms of the contract
or negligently
performing duties under the contract. Article III, Section 49 of the Texas Constitution states that "no debt shall be cre
ated by or on
behalf of the State ... " The Attorney General has counseled that a contractually imposed obligation of indemnity cre
ates a "debt" in
the constitutional sense. Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. No. MW-475 (1982). Contract clauses which require the System or insti
tutions to
indemnify must be deleted or qualified with ''to the extent permitted by the Constitution and Laws of the State of Tex
as." Liquidated
damages, attorney's fees, waiver of vendor's liability, and waiver of statutes of limitations clauses should also be del
eted or qualified
with "to the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of State of Texas."
