Texas: Teaching Liability

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

I am considering teaching a free karate class to students between the ages of 6 and 12 at a local public park on Saturday mornings. Besides waivers signed by the students and parents are there any other precautions that I need to look for? What else should I do to cover myself from any potential liability?

I do not have "permission" from the public park to teach as it would be more group exercise in the same lines of meeting a group of friends and exercising or playing a sport.

Thank you in advance.

A: Buy lots of liability insurance.

And get permission from the park. In writing.
