The TCPA turns a marketing text sent without proper consent into statutory damages per message, which is why it drives so much class action volume. This hub tracks FCC rulemaking on consent and revocation, plus the circuit splits that decide who gets sued.

The TCPA and the FCC's rules give tax-exempt nonprofits several carve-outs: their calls are not telephone solicitations, they may place up to three prerecorded calls to a residential line in 30 days without consent, and their telemarketing to cell phones needs ordinary rather than written consent.

A February 2024 FCC order codified the right to revoke TCPA consent by any reasonable means, fixed seven per se opt-out words for reply texts, capped the processing window at ten business days, and permitted one confirmation message. The cross-message-type portion of that rule has been waived twice and is now scheduled to take effect January 31, 2027.

The TCPA converts a single unwanted marketing text into statutory damages with no proof of harm, which is why it produces class action volume out of proportion to its age. This guide covers which calls need which grade of consent, what survived the Supreme Court's narrowing of the autodialer definition, how consent is revoked, and where the exemptions sit.
