A new court ruling says you can be sued just for leaving your company name out of a text. Yes, really. In Newell v. JR Capital LLC, No. 25-1419 (E.D. Pa. July 16, 2025), a judge held that a consumer could sue under the TCPA because the company sent five marketing texts that didn’t include its name.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has officially bowed out of the fight to revive the TCPA’s one-to-one consent rule. In a filing on April 4, 2025, the Commission said it will not challenge the Eleventh Circuit’s decision in IMC v. FCC, which struck down the rule, and it will oppose any other efforts to bring it back.

In a case that could have nationwide implications, the Eastern District of Michigan has ruled that individuals can sue for caller ID violations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
