Texas is the only voluntary Comp state. But employers remain liable for the workers' injuries AND should opt out correctly - according to the state rules, filing their decision with the state and posting the proper notice to employees and to subcontractors who lack coverage. Why subcontractors who lack coverage? Because employers are liable to them too. Employers in all states need to realize they remain liable if they don't have coverage, that their employees and their employees' families can sue them - and in most states, subcontractors and their families can sue too.
