Texas' App Store Accountability Act, which mandates that minors obtain parental permission before downloading most apps, can go into effect, the Supreme Court ruled on July 6, 2026. This decision allows the law to be enforced as ongoing lawsuits continue in lower courts. The Act aims to regulate minors' access to digital content through app stores within the state of Texas.

The Supreme Court's ruling does not resolve the legal disputes but permits the state to implement the law during the judicial process.
