Texas

In Texas, CPR programs are required to maintain functional devices, report where they are located, and follow proper emergency response procedures. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects people who give CPR. You don’t need any formal paperwork to be covered. To help keep people safe, Texas needs CPR devices in many places. This includes schools, dental offices, nursing homes, care facilities, and swimming pools.

Summary

Good Samaritan Law
Individuals are not liable if they act in good faith and follow the guidelines. This includes CPR trainers, prescribing physicians, and CPR users.
CPR Training
To get a CPR device, train all users in CPR. Also, inform local EMS of the device's location and details.

Each CPR program requires oversight from a licensed physician to ensure regulatory compliance.
Schools
Schools must keep a CPR device accessible at all times. It must be available during large events. Additionally, a trained staff member must be on hand to use the CPR device during such events. Students must get CPR training once between grades 7 and 12. This ensures they are ready for medical emergencies.

CPR devices stand at the ready near swimming pools and lagoons. Lifeguards should have portable CPR devices and BVMs. This ensures a rapid emergency response, boosting safety in aquatic areas.
