Can I offer contests that involve push notifications in Texas? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context documents, contests that involve push notifications are not specifically mentioned. However, Tex. Bus. & Com. Section 621.104(a)(4) requires that records be maintained for each contestant, including the approximate date each contestant was sent the solicitation used in the contest. This suggests that contests may be conducted through electronic means, such as push notifications.

To ensure compliance with Texas law, any contest offered through push notifications must adhere to the requirements outlined in Tex. Bus. & Com. Section 621.104(a), which includes disclosing the odds of winning, the identity and address of each person responsible for awarding prizes, and all other rules and terms of the contest. Additionally, Tex. Bus. & Com. Section 621.102 requires that offerors who notify a person that they have won a prize or have a chance to win a prize must disclose that attendance at a sales presentation is required, the approximate duration of the sales presentation, and a description of the product or service being sold.

In summary, while push notifications are not specifically mentioned in the context documents, contests offered through push notifications must adhere to the same requirements as other contests offered in Texas.
