Texas TRAIGA is enacted (or near-enacted) law in a specific jurisdiction, with a specific obligation and a specific date. Planisphere maps the obligation to an evidence record supporting the bias audit, transparency disclosure, or high-risk notice — and pins it to the section and effective date so a third party can verify it.

Answers: What does Texas TRAIGA require, by when, and what does Planisphere deliver for it?

Planisphere measures your tool deployment against Texas TRAIGA and seals the result into a signed, Merkle-rooted evidence record. The grade recomputes on your own hardware; the model state never crosses the boundary.

The Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA, HB 149), enacted 2025-06-22, takes effect 2026-01-01. It is an intent-based AI governance statute: it prohibits developing or deploying AI systems with the intent to unlawfully discriminate or cause certain harms, rather than imposing a prescriptive audit or impact-assessment regime. There is no mandated bias audit, but a deployer must be able to show how its system behaves to rebut an inference of prohibited intent.

What the evidence record proves.

• A dated, recomputable behavioural record evidencing how the system actually operates
• Distinctness, drift, and coherence baselines that document non-discriminatory behaviour
• Probe results usable to rebut an inference of intentional discrimination
• A sha-pinned record attachable to internal governance documentation
• Evidence supporting good-faith deployment under the statute's intent standard

What this does not prove. TRAIGA is intent-based and requires no audit, so Planisphere proves system behaviour, not the developer's or deployer's state of mind; it offers no legal advice and cannot conclusively establish the absence of prohibited intent.
