Regulatory Enforcement
Texas AG v. Google
SettledNot a class action
State of Texas v. Google LLC
Where it stands
Two consolidated Texas enforcement actions (biometric/CUBI and geolocation-Incognito/DTPA) resolved for $1.375 billion; settlement announced May 2025 and finalized by the Attorney General on October 31, 2025.
Key ruling
Second nine-figure-plus Texas CUBI recovery in under two years; the AG stated it exceeds any prior single-state Google privacy settlement (the previous largest being $93 million) and the 40-state coalition's $391 million settlement combined.
What is not confirmed
Court, county, cause number and original filing date not verified from a primary source; the CUBI suit was reportedly filed in 2022. Settlement covers both the biometric and the geolocation/Incognito actions together, so the portion attributable to CUBI is not broken out.The record
