My brother in law was shot twice last friday morning in a robbery at an Exxon station while he was pumping gas. The attendant on duty failed to render aid after seeing that he was bleeding and needed help. Some people across the street called 911. Is there any action we can take against the attendant? He could have died from her inncompatence. Please advise.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
From my cursory research of Texas law, I could not locate a law "requiring" someone to render aid in such a situation - - only in the event of an auto accident.
If someone chooses not to render aid, or to be a Good Samaritan, in Texas, apparently there is no criminal misconduct or civil penalty for a failure to take any affirmative action in such cases.
I certainly hope that your brother-in-law is doing better.
