Sec. 72.055. ADMISSIBILITY OF VISUAL DEPICTIONS OF COLLISION. (a) In a civil action under this subchapter, a court may not require expert testimony for admission into evidence of a photograph or video of a vehicle or object involved in a collision that is the subject of the action except as necessary to authenticate the photograph or video. (b) If properly authenticated under the Texas Rules of Evidence, a photograph or video of a vehicle or object involved in a collision that is the subject of a civil action under this subchapter is presumed admissible, even if the photograph or video tends to support or refute an assertion regarding the severity of damages or injury to an object or person involved in the collision.
