HB 4899 expands consumer protections against unsolicited telemarketing calls and messages. It broadens the definition of "telephone solicitation" to include text messages and images and allows consumers to bring multiple legal claims without limits on recoveries for repeated violations. It also classifies violations of telephone solicitation laws as deceptive trade practices, making them enforceable under Texas' consumer protection laws.
