Christina Morgan, Jason Blackstone, and Matthew Yarbrough have co‑authored the “Trends and Developments” section of the Texas chapter in the 2026 Chambers & Partners Data Protection & Privacy Global Practice Guide.
Their analysis explores the impact of the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), which took effect on July 1, 2024, and places Texas among the growing number of states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws by granting residents rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain data uses—enforced solely by the Attorney General. They also examine Texas’s new child‑privacy requirements for app stores, currently paused due to federal injunctions, as well as a suite of recently enacted AI‑related laws facing uncertainty amid federal pressure. As organizations increasingly move toward “data‑light AI” strategies that limit retained personal data, the authors highlight how Texas’s biometric rules and evolving AI regulatory landscape reinforce the need for governance frameworks built on data minimization, transparency, explainability, and adaptability in a rapidly shifting environment.
