TX HB2859

Requires service providers and sellers to clearly disclose the nature of subscription contracts at sign-up and provide cancellation procedures before the first payment is due

Mandates written renewal notice between 15-90 days before automatic renewal for contracts of 12 months or more that renew for more than one month

Requires cancellation methods that match how the consumer signed up (e.g., contracts entered online must be cancelable online)

For periodic goods subscriptions, sellers must send notice at least 20 days before each sale identifying the goods, provide a cancellation form, and pay return shipping costs if sales proceed despite timely cancellation requests or late notices

Violations are classified as deceptive trade practices with civil penalties up to $2,000 per violation enforceable by the attorney general, but no private lawsuits are permitted; providers have 30 days to cure initial violations before penalties apply
