The state of Texas forecasted “aggressive enforcement” of its upcoming data privacy law with the announcement of a dedicated team to oversee its implementation.
The team “is poised to become among the largest in the country focused on enforcing privacy laws,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a press release Tuesday. It will be housed within the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General.
The announcement comes less than a month ahead of the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act taking effect—the state’s version of comprehensive privacy protections for consumers in the absence of a federal law. The act was signed into law in July 2023 and offers consumers the rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out regarding the processing of their personal data.
