How to Comply with Enforcement, Cure Period and NIST Defense — Texas TRAIGA

HB 149 (TRAIGA) · TX · Effective Jan 1, 2026

In effect

Summary, not legal advice. Only the Attorney General enforces, after a 60-day cure notice (§552.104); there is no private right of action. Substantially complying with the NIST AI RMF (or a similar framework) can be a defense when a violation is found through internal review (§552.105(e)(2)(D)); it is not a duty.

Implementation steps

  1. Keep a process to respond to an AG cure notice within 60 days.
  2. Optionally align with the NIST AI RMF and document internal reviews.

  • Cure-response procedure
