In one paragraph
Texas SB 668 (2025), as engrossed, would have added Business & Commerce Code Chapter 2003 requiring a person that uses AI to provide services to individuals in Texas and generated, or is more than 25 percent owned by a person who generated, at least $100 billion in total revenue to disclose on its website each AI model used, its purpose, and any third-party input and resulting model changes. A violation would have been a deceptive trade practice. It passed the Senate, but no enrolled version exists, so it died June 2, 2025.

What it means for business
No duties for businesses because the bill died. Had it passed, only very large AI service providers (at least $100 billion revenue) would have faced the website disclosure duties.
