The Texas Data Protection and Security Act goes into effect on Monday, July 1, 2024. Eliminating any speculation that this omnibus consumer privacy law might sit on the cupboard shelf, unenforced, the Texas attorney general announced that his office has formed a task force to enforce the TDPSA, along with Texas’ several other data privacy laws. This announcement was consistent with the Texas AG office’s recent enforcement of Texas’ biometrics law and newly enacted Data Broker Law. Data privacy enforcement in Texas is just beginning to heat up.
