Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is informing Washington State residents that if you’ve received unsolicited text messages, you may be protected under Washington’s strict privacy laws. In fact, the state’s anti-spam law makes it illegal to send unsolicited commercial text messages if the message is sent:

• To a telephone number assigned to a Washington resident for a cellular telephone; and
• From a person conducting business in Washington state.

But it is not illegal if:

• The message is sent by the subscriber’s cellphone carrier, unless the subscriber has indicated he or she is not willing to receive further commercial text messages from the cellphone carrier; or
• The recipient has clearly and affirmatively consented in advance to receive the commercial electronic text messages from the sender.

Under Washington State’s anti-spam law, known as the Commercial Electronic Mail Act, a person who receives illegal, unsolicited commercial text messages may bring a civil action to enjoin further violations and seek up to $500 per violation, or actual damages, whichever is greater.
