Texas SB140 Revisited: Getting Compensated for Spam Texts

If you live in Texas and are tired of spam text messages, Texas Senate Bill 140 gives you a new way to fight back. Effective September 1, 2025, SB 140 makes unauthorized commercial texts illegal and lets consumers sue businesses that send them. Each violation can be worth up to $1,500 per message in some cases, plus attorney’s fees, giving everyday Texans powerful leverage against unwanted solicitations. Every case is different, so it is important you consult with an attorney. In this presentation, I explain how the law works: which messages qualify, what written consent really means, when texts are prohibited, and how opt-out rights are enforced. You’ll also learn how SB 140 ties into the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, what evidence you need to keep, and the steps to file a claim through an attorney.
