HB 3682 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of digital electronic equipment.

HB 3682 requires electronics manufacturers to provide independent repair shops with necessary parts, tools, and documentation for diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing digital electronic equipment (like smartphones, computers, or appliances) on "fair and reasonable terms." Specifically, manufacturers must make replacement parts and non-software tools available at the same cost and conditions as offered to their own authorized repair providers, without unnecessary restrictions. The bill directly affects independent repair businesses and consumers who rely on them for affordable repairs, rather than manufacturer-authorized services. It aims to level the playing field by preventing manufacturers from unfairly limiting access to repair resources.
