Aug. 21 Jury Trial Set in Houston Robocall Case Brought by 8 States

U.S. District Judge George Hanks for Southern Texas in Houston set an Aug. 21 jury trial in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act case brought nearly three years ago by eight states against multiple defendants, said a signed clerk’s notice Thursday (docket 4:20-cv-02021). The states allege the defendants are responsible for billions of “abusive” robocalls to generate sales leads for goods and services including healthcare products and extended automobile warranties.
