Relating to requiring wireless telephone service providers and mobile device manufacturers to disable certain stolen mobile devices.

HB 2352 requires wireless phone providers and mobile device manufacturers to disable stolen devices. Providers must stop service on devices known to be stolen upon notification from an authorized customer (the account holder or pre-paid owner), while manufacturers must equip new devices sold in Texas with technology allowing owners to render stolen phones unusable. The law applies only to devices manufactured on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025. This policy directly affects phone users, providers, and manufacturers by creating a legal mechanism to prevent stolen devices from being used.
