TX HB748

Officially named "Trey's Law," this bill makes nondisclosure and confidentiality agreement provisions void and unenforceable when they prohibit disclosing acts of sexual abuse or related facts

Defines "act of sexual abuse" to include indecency with a child, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, sexual performance by a child, human trafficking for sexual purposes, and compelling prostitution under Texas Penal Code

Applies to nondisclosure provisions in any type of agreement, including employment agreements, settlement agreements, and standalone confidentiality agreements

Allows parties to still keep other settlement terms confidential, such as monetary amounts or payment terms, as long as the underlying sexual abuse can be disclosed

Applies retroactively to agreements entered into before the effective date of September 1, 2025, though enforcement of pre-existing agreements requires obtaining a final declaratory judgment that the provision is enforceable
