Yes, however, you may have a defense. Texas Business and Commerce Code Sec. 321.113 provides a limited immunity from prosecution in the event that a sender acted in good faith in hiring a sender to send compliant unsolicited commercial emails, but the company (without knowledge of the sender) violates the law. However, there may still be liability for violating another state’s laws, if the emails wind up in an out of state user’s mailbox.
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FROM LIABILITY OF SENDERS. A sender may not be held liable for the transmission of an electronic mail message that violates this chapter if the sender:
(1) contracts in good faith with an electronic mail service provider to transmit electronic mail messages for the sender; and
(2) has no reason to believe the electronic mail service provider will transmit any of the sender’s electronic mail messages in violation of this chapter.
