Texas HB5145 regulates the sharing and protection of proprietary customer information by electric utilities and retail electric providers.

Texas HB5145 amends the Utilities Code to establish rules for the sharing and protection of proprietary customer information. It defines "proprietary customer information" as identifying details such as a customer's name, telephone number, email address, or home address. The bill allows electric utilities to request this information from retail electric providers for communication purposes related to emergencies, service interruptions, or restorations. Retail electric providers must respond to such requests within 48 hours without needing prior customer authorization.
