Texas App Store Accountability Act
Texas · Jan 1, 2026 — currently in effect
Shifts age-verification and parental-consent duties to app stores. Challenged by NetChoice/CCIA; a preliminary injunction was granted Dec 23, 2025 but stayed by the 5th Circuit Jun 4, 2026, and SCOTUS denied an emergency stay in early July 2026 — the law is currently enforceable pending the merits appeal. (Distinct from Texas's separate SCOPE Act, HB 18, whose content-moderation requirement remains partially enjoined while its parental-oversight and targeted-ad provisions are enforceable.)
