Texas Responsible AI Governance Act
Texas Responsible AI Governance Act.
The Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA / HB 149) prohibits specific harmful AI uses — such as intentional unlawful discrimination, manipulation, and certain government social-scoring and biometric practices — requires disclosure when consumers interact with AI in some contexts, and establishes a regulatory sandbox with attorney-general enforcement.
Who it applies to
Organizations doing business in Texas that develop or deploy AI systems, plus government agencies.
Key obligations
- Avoid prohibited manipulative and discriminatory AI uses
- Disclose AI interaction where required
- Observe government-specific biometric and social-scoring limits
- Cooperate with AG oversight; optionally use the sandbox
How Maetra maps agents to Texas TRAIGA
Maetra's inventory and classification show which agents fall in scope, Secure blocks disallowed behaviors at runtime, and Audit evidences disclosures and controls for AG inquiries.
In practice, Maetra:
- Scans and fingerprints each agent. Discover reads the agent’s code — its tools, data access and sensitivity, actions, model, and environment — into an evidence-backed profile tied to the exact file and commit.
- Decides what applies. That profile determines whether Texas TRAIGA is in scope for the agent and which of its requirements apply.
- Auto-detects controls and surfaces gaps. Controls your code already satisfies are detected automatically from the scan; the rest become a clear list of gaps, each tied to the requirement and the evidence it still needs.
- Proves it and keeps it current. Close gaps with linked evidence or generated documents — reused across every framework the same control supports — and Maetra re-checks on each rescan and flags evidence that has gone stale.
