What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

In force 9 months, effective 1 January 2026.

An AI transparency rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 6 September 2026.

What it requires

  • If you are a governmental agency making an AI system available to interact with consumers, disclose before or at the time of interaction that the consumer is interacting with an AI system, even if that would already be obvious to a reasonable consumer.
  • The disclosure must be clear and conspicuous, written in plain language, and may not use a dark pattern; a hyperlink to a separate page satisfies it.
  • If you are a provider of health care service or treatment, public or private, and you use an AI system in that service or treatment, give the same disclosure to the patient or the patient's representative by the time the service or treatment is first provided, or as soon as reasonably possible in an emergency.

Logging duty

Section 552.051 requires a governmental agency, and a health care provider using an artificial intelligence system in service or treatment, to disclose to a consumer or patient that they are interacting with an artificial intelligence system. It states no duty to create, keep, or later produce a log or record of any disclosure given. Section 552.103, elsewhere in the chapter, is the same attorney general investigative power that reaches Sections 552.052 and 552.055-552.057; it reaches a reported violation of this section too but creates no duty to make or keep anything.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

A governmental agency that makes an AI system available to interact with consumers must disclose, before or at the time of interaction, that the consumer is interacting with an AI system, regardless of whether that would already be obvious; the disclosure must be clear, conspicuous, in plain language, free of dark patterns, and may be given by hyperlink.

The same disclosure duty extends to any provider of a health care service or treatment, public or private, that uses an AI system in that service or treatment, who must give it to the patient or the patient's representative by the time the service is first provided, or as soon as reasonably possible in an emergency.
