Right to parts, tools and documentation
Original equipment manufacturers of covered digital electronic equipment must make documentation, functional parts, and tools needed to diagnose, maintain, or repair the product available to consumers and independent repair providers on fair and reasonable terms.
Applies as long as the law is in force.
Texas HB 2963, 89th Legislature, Regular Session (2025) — Right to Repair - 02
Minimum documentation availability period
Manufacturers must keep repair documentation available for a minimum period tied to the product's price: at least three years for products priced between $50 and $99.99, and at least seven years for products priced at $100 or more, measured from the product model's first introduction to market.
Applies as long as the law is in force.
Texas HB 2963, 89th Legislature, Regular Session (2025) - 03
No requirement to disclose trade secrets or override security
The law does not require a manufacturer to divulge trade secrets, override security measures, or supply documentation for repairs that pose a credible threat to life or health, provided the manufacturer can show physical evidence of that threat.
Applies as long as the law is in force.
Texas HB 2963, 89th Legislature, Regular Session (2025) - 04
Enforcement by the Texas Attorney General
The Texas Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority. Before bringing an action, the AG must give the manufacturer written notice and a 30-day cure period; uncured violations may then be pursued as deceptive trade practices. The statute does not create a private right of action.
Applies as long as the law is in force.
