Spam Texts and Robotexts
Spam Text Lawyer: Unwanted and Unsolicited Text Messages
Text messages are treated as calls under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Marketing texts sent without prior express written consent, or sent after you opted out, can carry statutory damages of $500 to $1,500 per message. Several states add their own damages for text solicitations.
We evaluate claims from consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Matters are pursued in federal and state courts, including through association with qualified local counsel or pro hac vice admission where required.
Your situation may qualify if…
- You received marketing texts from a company you never gave written permission to text you
- You replied STOP and the messages continued
- The messages came from rotating numbers or short codes
- You received texts about a product you never inquired about
- You still have the messages on your phone
These are screening indicators only. They do not determine whether a claim exists, which depends on the specific facts and applicable law.
Why text cases are often stronger than call cases
Text messages preserve their own evidence. The sender, timestamp, content, and your opt-out request all sit in a single thread on your phone, which removes much of the proof problem that call-only cases face.
Do not delete the thread and do not block the sender before the messages are preserved. Screenshot the entire conversation, including any message you sent that says STOP.
State laws that reach text messages directly
Florida's Telephone Solicitation Act and Oklahoma's Telephone Solicitation Act of 2022 provide statutory damages for certain text solicitations. Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act treats certain commercial texts to Washington residents as per se violations of the state Consumer Protection Act.
Because these statutes can stack with the federal claim, the state where you received the messages matters. Our state directory covers each one.
