HB 149, signed by Governor Abbott on June 22, 2025 and effective January 1, 2026. TRAIGA prohibits developing or deploying AI systems for specified harmful purposes under an intent-based standard, including behavioral manipulation, unlawful discrimination, unlawful deepfakes and child sexual abuse material, and infringement of constitutional rights. The Texas Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority and must allow a 60-day cure period. There is no private right of action.
TRAIGA is narrower than Colorado's original law: it focuses on prohibited practices rather than Colorado-style impact assessments. Small teams should document the intended purpose of each AI system, keep records showing good-faith compliance, and be ready to fix a flagged issue within the 60-day cure window. The law also creates a regulatory sandbox program and a Texas AI advisory council.
