Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA): Compliance Checklist

Compliance checklist

Run through these items to scope your obligations under Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA). Not legal advice; verify with counsel before acting.

1. Confirm scope: does the law apply to your operations? See Who Must Comply or use the Compliance Checker.
2. Inventory in-scope AI systems and classify them by role (developer/deployer) and decision type.
3. Address each obligation:
   • disclosure — Provide 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 § 552.051
   • governance — Refrain 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 § 552.056
   • governance — On receipt of a written notice of alleged violation from the Texas Attorney General, cure the violation within the statutory cure window to avoid tier-1 civil penalties of $10,000–$12,000; uncurable violations and continuing violations escalate to $80,000–$200,000 per violation and $2,000–$40,000 per day under § 552.105.Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 552.104, § 552.105
   • governance — Licensed, registered, or certified persons remain separately subject to discipline by their Texas licensing authority, including sanctions of up to $100,000, in addition to civil penalties imposed by the Attorney General under § 552.105.Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 552.106
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.
