About Texas SB 2610

Texas Senate Bill 2610 (effective September 1, 2025) provides a "safe harbor" from exemplary (punitive) damages in data breach lawsuits for Texas businesses that maintain a compliant cybersecurity program.

✓ What It Protects

  • • Protection from punitive damages in breach lawsuits
  • • Applies if you had a compliant program at time of breach
  • • Covers businesses with fewer than 250 employees

⚠ What It Doesn't Cover

  • • Does not prevent lawsuits entirely
  • • Compensatory damages still apply
  • • Attorney General enforcement unaffected
