HB 4456 requires social media platforms to verify the age of all Texas residents seeking to create an account. Platforms must use commercially reasonable methods based on public or private transactional data to confirm users' ages and immediately delete any personal information used for verification. The bill also allows parents or guardians to request the removal of their child’s account, which must be deleted within ten days. Violations of these provisions are considered deceptive trade practices and are enforceable by the Texas Attorney General​.
