Editorial Policy

Texas Robotics Law is an independent publication about the Texas and federal law governing robots, autonomous systems and physical AI. It is published by Jason Blackstone, a Dallas attorney, who is responsible for its content. These standards describe how the content is researched, verified, and kept current.

Primary sources first

Guides, insights, and tracker records are grounded in the controlling legal authorities: the Texas statutes themselves, enacted legislation, agency rules and guidance, and court and enforcement filings. Statutory citations, effective dates, procedural posture, and docket status are verified against the official source before publication. Secondary commentary, press releases, and third-party summaries are never the sole basis for a statement about what the law requires.

Authority types kept distinct

Statutes, rules, agency orders, individual exemptions, draft guidance, consensus standards, and policy proposals are labeled accurately. A deployment example does not establish a legal rule, and a proposal is never described as an effective requirement.

Independence

Content selection and analysis are independent. Texas Robotics Law does not accept paid guest posts, sponsored articles, or compensation for coverage.

Keeping current

Tracker records are updated as regulators and courts act. Guides and insights are re-checked against current law on a rolling basis, with priority after each Texas legislative session. Each article page notes the date through which the law it discusses was checked. Visible publication and review dates record actual publication or substantive review; a date is never advanced merely because files were rebuilt.

Reporting errors

Reported errors are investigated against the primary source, and substantive errors are fixed in the text. To report one, use the contact address on the About page.

What this site is not

Texas Robotics Law is general information, not legal advice and not a law practice. It offers no services menu, intake form, or representation call to action.
