Texas Data Privacy Compliance Services for Dallas-Fort Worth Businesses
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) took effect July 1, 2024, making Texas one of the strictest states for consumer data protection. Any business processing personal data of Texas residents must honor consumer rights requests, conduct data protection assessments, and implement reasonable security practices — enforced by the Texas Attorney General with no cap on penalties.
With over 1 million businesses in DFW alone, most small and mid-size companies don't realize TDPSA applies to them. Unlike GDPR, there's no revenue threshold — if you collect personal data from Texans, you're covered. We help DFW businesses build privacy programs that satisfy the law without disrupting operations.

Texas Data Privacy Compliance Questions
What is the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA)?
The TDPSA is a comprehensive data privacy law effective July 1, 2024, that gives Texas consumers rights over their personal data. It applies to businesses operating in Texas that process personal data, including companies throughout Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, and the greater DFW metroplex.
Which businesses must comply with the TDPSA?
The TDPSA applies to businesses that conduct operations in Texas or produce products and services consumed by Texas residents, and that process or sell personal data. Unlike some state laws, there is no revenue threshold. Businesses in Irving, Frisco, McKinney, and across DFW should evaluate their obligations immediately.
What consumer rights does the TDPSA establish?
Texas consumers have the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal data. They can also opt out of data processing for targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling. Businesses serving customers in Garland, Grand Prairie, Denton, and DFW must honor these rights.
What are the penalties for TDPSA non-compliance?
The Texas Attorney General can impose civil penalties up to $7,500 per violation with no cap on total penalties. There is a 30-day cure period to address violations before enforcement action. Companies in Richardson, Carrollton, Lewisville, and throughout DFW face significant financial risk without compliance.
What are data controller obligations under the TDPSA?
Data controllers must limit data collection to what is adequate and relevant, implement reasonable security practices, conduct data protection assessments for high-risk processing, and provide clear privacy notices. DFW businesses in Allen, Mesquite, Mansfield, and surrounding cities must document these practices thoroughly.
How do TDPSA opt-out requirements work?
Businesses must provide consumers a clear method to opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, and certain profiling activities. Universal opt-out mechanisms must be recognized starting January 2025. Companies across Arlington, Grapevine, Southlake, and DFW need compliant opt-out systems in place.
