What This Bill Does

Clarifies and modifies consumer transaction cancellation rules in Texas, specifically exempting certain types of sales from standard cancellation provisions. The exemptions include farm equipment purchases, insurance sales, transactions made under existing charge accounts, sales negotiated at a business location, real estate transactions with licensed representation, and certain service contracts that already have consumer cancellation rights. The changes will apply only to consumer transactions occurring on or after September 1, 2025, with previous transactions remaining governed by existing laws.
