If you’re still receiving marketing texts after replying “STOP,” your rights under the TCPA may be violated
Learn how R23 Law’s California Consumer Protection Attorneys can help you stop the harassment and pursue compensation.
When Texting “STOP” Isn’t Enough: Your Rights Under the TCPA
In an age where promotions, deals, and reminders flood your phone, replying “STOP” to unwanted texts should end the conversation—legally and literally.
But what happens when the messages keep coming?
Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), that’s not just annoying—it could be a federal violation of your consumer rights. And if the company refuses to honor your opt-out, you may be entitled to statutory damages of up to $1,500 per message.
R23 Law’s California Consumer Protection Attorneys are here to help you take action.
What Is the TCPA?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) is a federal law that protects you from unwanted robocalls and texts. It restricts businesses from using automated dialing systems—known as autodialers—to contact you without prior express consent.
The TCPA also gives you the power to revoke consent at any time, simply by replying “STOP.” Once you do, the sender must stop texting you—no exceptions.
“STOP” Means STOP
Once you reply with “STOP” to a promotional or marketing text, you’ve clearly revoked your consent. If texts continue after that, it’s a likely TCPA violation.
In fact, federal courts have repeatedly ruled that a single “STOP” message is sufficient to withdraw consent. Any texts that come after that could cost the sender:
$500 per message for each negligent violation
Up to $1,500 per message if the sender acted willfully or knowingly
Common TCPA Violations
Examples of unlawful behavior after you opt out:
A retailer continues to text promotions after you reply “STOP”
A gym keeps sending renewal reminders after you opt out
A lender or marketing company uses a third-party texting service that ignores your unsubscribe request
Even just a few texts after you’ve opted out can trigger significant damages—and possibly a class action lawsuit.
What To Do If the Texts Don’t Stop
If you're still receiving texts after opting out, take these steps:
Screenshot every message, especially your opt-out
Log the dates and times of each message
Stop replying—let the messages show the violation on their own
