There will be fewer drone-shot disaster footage in Texas. From Courthouse News:
Passed by the state Legislature in 2013 and amended three times before the plaintiffs filed suit, the regulations criminalize using unmanned aerial drones to film private individuals and property without consent, as well as flying drones within 400 feet over critical infrastructure such as prisons, oil and gas drill sites and large sports venues.
A person who was photographed or filmed on their private property can also sue the drone operator for civil penalties of $5,000 to $10,000 per violation.
