The Texas limit on non-economic damages is still $250k. It is not adjusted for inflation [1]. It's only the limit on total damages in a wrongful death suit that is indexed for inflation. Punitive damages are limited to $200k or twice the total of economic and non-economic damages up to a max of $750k. These also are not indexed. Here is what Texas defines as non-economic damages [2]: "(12) "Noneconomic damages" means damages awarded for the purpose of compensating a claimant for physical pain and suffering, mental or emotional pain or anguish, loss of consortium, disfigurement, physical impairment, loss of companionship and society, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, injury to reputation, and all other nonpecuniary losses of any kind other than exemplary damages."
