If a drought-killed tree in your yard falls on someone else's property and causes damage, you're liable. The Texas Forest Service is encouraging homeowners and landowners to remove fire- and drought-killed trees that are within falling distance of neighboring homes to reduce the risk. Foresters have estimated that as many as 500 million trees in rural forested areas and another 5.6 million trees in populated urban areas were killed as a result of the 2011 drought. The Texas Forest Service says that poses a serious hazard.
