Foley & Lardner LLP partner Edward Burbach is quoted in the Corporate Counsel article, “Texas AG Using State’s Formidable New Privacy Law to Tame Corporate Titans,” sharing insight on Texas’ enforcement of consumer protection and data privacy laws.
Burbach, who co-chairs Foley’s State Attorneys General and FTC Consumer Practices, said the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, which went into effect in July 2024, gives enforcement authority exclusively to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.
“That was a very big tool that was handed to the AG’s office,” Burbach added. “He has a lot of tools available to him. He’s got a very large office. He’s got a large budget.”
