Attorney General Ken Paxton said that if the company has to do business in Texas, it has to tell the truth to the people. If they run false aids then action will be taken against them.
On this matter, Google’s spokesperson Jose Castaneda said that the company takes advertising laws seriously and we will follow the order given on this issue.
