TX HB3682

Requires original equipment manufacturers to provide documentation, replacement parts, and tools on fair and reasonable terms to independent repair providers and equipment owners for diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing digital electronic equipment sold or used in Texas

Mandates that software tools for repair be made available at no charge without requiring authorization or internet access, while physical parts and hardware tools must be offered at costs equivalent to those given to authorized repair providers

For equipment with a wholesale price of at least $100 that includes an express warranty, manufacturers must provide repair materials at equitable prices during the warranty period, considering actual distribution costs and affordability

Protects trade secrets from mandatory disclosure except as necessary to provide required repair documentation, and preserves existing agreements between authorized repair providers and manufacturers entered before September 1, 2025

Classifies violations as deceptive trade practices actionable under Chapter 17 of the Business & Commerce Code, with any contract provisions attempting to waive manufacturer compliance deemed void and unenforceable
