Texas Age Verification Starts Jan 1: ID Required for ALL Apps Starting January 1, 2026, Texas will require age verification to download ANY app, including weather and sports apps—thanks to SB2420. Apple and Google are warning this destroys user privacy, similar laws are coming to Utah and Louisiana, and there's a federal bill to make it nationwide.
