Why this status

Texas didn't hold a 2026 regular legislative session. Rooted Reality reviewed prior-session youth-social-media measures and didn't find a state-level rule on kids and social media. Federal law and each platform's own age and consent policies are what apply for Texas families.

What this means

Texas has no enforceable state rule for minors and social media today — and with no 2026 regular session, there's no in-session bill movement either.
The next reasonable window for a Texas state-level measure is the 2027 regular session. Until then, this card stays at no rule found.
Federal law (COPPA for under-13 data, for one) and the platform's own age-of-account and parental-consent flow are what households work with today.

What to verify next

Watch the Texas Legislature Online tracker for the 2027 regular session — that's the next realistic window for a state-level measure on this topic.
For decisions you need to make today, the app's published age and consent policy is the active rule — read it directly on the app's safety or settings page.
