Texas Scorecard by Emily Medeiros November 15, 2024
Starting Nov. 15, social media platform X will require all lawsuits against it to be filed in Texas.
According to the new Terms of Service, the State of Texas will govern the terms and any dispute that may arise between X and its users. Additionally, all disputes related to the terms or the services will be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas or any state court located in Tarrant County.
If the user is a federal, state, or local government entity in the U.S. using X’s services in its official capacity and is “legally unable to accept the controlling law, jurisdiction or venue clauses above,” then the aforementioned rules regarding the State of Texas overseeing lawsuits will not apply.
A person bringing a lawsuit against X must “initiate any proceeding or action within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute that is arising out of or related to these Terms.”
