TL;DR

Texas amended Chapter 302 to include text messages. If you send marketing SMS to Texas residents or from Texas, you may need to register with the Texas SOS, post a bond, and follow added rules. Penalties and private-lawsuit exposure increase after Sept 1, 2025.

Quick actions (recommended):

• ▶️ Watch: Set up “Texas Mode” for <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/08a923a8ea28405b8e4c067165aee6e9" rel="ugc nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="blank”>Workflows & <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/18c2143cc01241de8e8ce808551e8b89" rel="ugc nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="blank”>Bulk Blasts

What’s changing

• SMS/MMS now covered under Texas telemarketing law.
• Registration + $10,000 security (bond/LOC/CD) may apply; $200 filing fee; annual renewal.
• Higher legal risk: stiffer penalties & easier private actions.

Who’s affected

-“Sellers” and “telephone solicitors” sending marketing SMS:

• TO Texas residents (wherever you’re located), or
• FROM a Texas location (whoever you message)

What to do in HighLevel (before Sept 1, 2025)

1. Review audience & location (TX recipients or sending from TX).
1. Segment wisely (optionally exclude TX numbers if you won’t take on registration—doesn’t help if you’re located in TX).
1. Strengthen consent (provable opt-in).
1. Enable “Texas Mode” guardrails (as shown in the Loom): registration verified, consent present, DND off, send only 8am–9pm recipient local time.
1. Talk to counsel about exemptions/registration.

We’ve made the approval process in Social Planner more flexible. Until now, approvers could only approve or reject posts without changing the scheduled time. With this update, approvers can now adjust the date and time before approving a post.

📅What’s New

• Approvers can reschedule posts directly in the approval flow.
• Any changes made will automatically update in the calendar.
• No need to send posts back to the creator just to tweak the schedule.

💡Why it matters

This makes the approval process smoother, reduces unnecessary back-and-forth, and helps teams ensure posts go live at the best possible time.
