What it requires
The Texas Attorney General has exclusive authority to enforce the TDPSA (§ 541.151), and there is no private right of action (§ 541.156). Before bringing an action, the Attorney General must give written notice and a 30-day opportunity to cure, which does not expire (§ 541.154). A person who fails to cure, or who breaches a written cure statement, is liable for a civil penalty of up to $7,500 per violation, plus injunctive relief and the Attorney General's reasonable attorney's fees and investigative expenses (§ 541.155).
