TRAIGA (H.B. 149, 2025), consumer AI-interaction disclosure duty
Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 552.051
A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.
In force 8 months, effective 1 January 2026.
An AI transparency rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- If you are a governmental agency making an AI system available to interact with consumers, disclose before or at the time of interaction that the consumer is interacting with an AI system, even if that would already be obvious to a reasonable consumer.
- The disclosure must be clear and conspicuous, written in plain language, and may not use a dark pattern; a hyperlink to a separate page satisfies it.
- If you are a provider of health care service or treatment, public or private, and you use an AI system in that service or treatment, give the same disclosure to the patient or the patient's representative by the time the service or treatment is first provided, or as soon as reasonably possible in an emergency.
