Relating to political advertising distributed or broadcast as part of a mass text message campaign and civil penalties for required disclosures on certain political advertising.

HB 143 regulates political advertising sent via mass text message campaigns in Texas. It defines a "mass text message campaign" as an organized effort sending texts to multiple recipients for political purposes (supporting/opposing candidates, parties, or measures) where costs exceed basic tech expenses. The bill requires clear disclosures in such ads and specifies that all texts in one campaign count as a single violation for civil penalties. This directly affects political campaigns, candidates, and organizations using text messaging for political outreach. The law applies only to ads distributed after its effective date.
