On June 13, 2023, the Texas Governor signed HB4, making Texas the tenth state to have a comprehensive privacy law, joining California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Virginia, and Utah (all in effect or going into effect in 2023), Montana and Tennessee (which, like Texas, go into effect in 2024), Iowa (effective 2025) and Indiana (effective 2026). The new Texas law goes into effect on July 1, 2024, except for one subsection relating to opt-outs, which goes into effect January 1, 2025.
