Text messages sent to generate real estate sales leads did not qualify as telephone solicitations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act's (TCPA) regulations, according to a Texas federal court decision.
Plaintiff Terri Pepper alleged that she registered her cellphone with the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry in December 2004. She also claimed that she never provided consent to receive calls or text messages from GVG Capital, but received multiple solicitations from the company from April through July 2022.
