Texas law unconstitutionally restricts adults’ access to sexual content online by requiring them to verify their age.

Under HB 1181 , any website that Texas decides is composed of “sexual material harmful to minors” is forced to collect age-verifying personal information from all visitors.

The Fifth Circuit of Appeals upheld the Texas law last year , diverging from legal precedent.
