The Texas Senate unanimously passed HB 2963, a right to repair bill requiring manufacturers to provide spare parts, manuals, and tools for equipment sold in Texas. This move positions Texas as the ninth state with such legislation, and the first with a Republican government to do so. The law aims to reduce electronic waste, with significant support from advocacy groups like PIRG and Environment Texas. If signed by Governor Greg Abbott, it will impact a large market and promote repairability for consumer electronics.
