Keller Postman Achieves Landmark $1.4 Billion Settlement for Texas in Record Time Today, Keller Postman announces that Meta Platforms has agreed to pay $1.4 billion to the State of Texas for the company’s decade-long violations of the State’s biometrics-privacy law. This marks the largest settlement that a single State has ever achieved, and the largest privacy-related settlement by a State in American history. Senior Partner Zina Bash led the case alongside Attorney General Ken Paxton and First Assistant Brent Webster, with co-counsel from McKool Smith. Zina said of the settlement, “This was an unprecedented case in many ways: It was the first time the State of Texas sought to enforce its biometric-privacy law since enactment . . . And it was the first time a single State has ever achieved a settlement of this magnitude—which is even more rewarding because of the record time in which we obtained it.” Managing the litigation with Zina were Senior Counsel Nick Larry, Partner Jessica Beringer, and Senior Partner Ashley Keller. The case had been set to be tried to a jury in June by attorneys from Keller Postman, including Partner John James Snidow, and attorneys from McKool Smith. The KP team included Alex Dravillas, Kiran Bhat, Zachary Clark, Rosie Romano, Branden Weber, Andray Kali Napolez, Randall Newman, and a superb group of legal-support staff led by Marla Bernal.
