- Texas sued TikTok in January 2025, alleging it marketed its platform as safe for children.
- TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.

- The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the case will now proceed to trial, where penalties and other remedies would be determined. The trial is expected to be scheduled next month, according to Paxton’s office.
- TikTok in August agreed to settle three U.S. lawsuits brought by young people who accuse social media companies of designing their platforms to be addictive and harming their mental health.
