Texas is a single-party consent state, meaning only one person who is a party to the conversation needs to consent to the recording for it to be legal. That one person can be you, meaning you don’t need to get permission from the people you’re speaking with to record them. Alternatively, the people you’re speaking with can record you without your consent.
So be careful out there, because your privacy rights don’t always protect conversations you think are private.
