    • disclosureProvide clear and conspicuous disclosure to consumers when they are interacting with an AI system in a manner where a reasonable consumer might believe they are interacting with a human.Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 552.x
    • governanceRefrain from developing or deploying AI systems with the intent to engage in unlawful discrimination against protected classes under Texas or federal law.Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 552.x
  4. Adopt a federal control framework: NIST AI RMF or ISO/IEC 42001 to demonstrate due care.
  5. Document evidence of compliance for each obligation, refreshed at the cadence the law requires.
  6. Build the AG-notification path if the law requires it (Colorado, California SB 53).
  7. Set the refresh cadence — annual for most impact-assessment regimes; continuous for monitoring.
