What are the penalties for not complying with the Texas Telemarketing Disclosure and Privacy Act?
The law permits the PUC to investigate alleged violations and to assess administrative and civil penalties against violators. The PUC has exclusive jurisdiction if the violator is a telecommunications provider. The Attorney General’s Office also has jurisdiction to investigate possible violations. Additionally, a state agency that has licensed an alleged violator may conduct investigations and assess any penalties for which it has authorization. The law also creates a private right of action in civil court for a customer that has been damaged through a violation of the statute. The law also specifies the amount of damages the customer may recover.
