Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two closely related but independent propositions: the entity's status as a data broker under Texas law, and the registration requirement. The registration requirement is treated as context for the primary disclosure of data broker status and is noted in omitted_material would be redundant; both are captured in the canonical claim as they form a single disclosure unit. Confidence remains high as both propositions are explicit.
