TX HB1092

Expands Texas law on sexually explicit deep fakes to cover still images in addition to videos, updating the definition to include any image or video created with intent to deceive that depicts a real person performing an action that did not occur

Makes it a criminal offense to knowingly produce or distribute by electronic means a deep fake image or video showing a person with intimate parts exposed or engaged in sexual conduct without their consent

Maintains the base offense as a Class A misdemeanor but increases the penalty to a state jail felony when the deep fake incorporates a depiction of a real child who was younger than 14 years of age when the original image was created

Applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, with prior offenses governed by existing law
