Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI)
Prohibits capture of biometric identifiers for commercial purposes without informed consent. Includes facial recognition and fingerprints. Does not provide a private right of action (unlike BIPA) but empowers the Texas Attorney General to enforce. Texas AG sued Meta in 2022 under this law.
