Texas Sues Roblox, Accusing Platform of Failing to Protect Children

The filing makes Texas the third state to target Roblox over child safety claims.

Overview

  • Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the civil case in West TexasKing County, where Judge Jennifer Habert hears cases.
  • The complaint alleges Roblox ignored safety laws, misled parents about risks, and enabled grooming and sexually explicit content involving minors.
  • Roblox rejected the claims as misrepresentations, saying it is deeply committed to safety and uses industry-leading protections for young users.
  • Texas joins Kentucky and Louisiana in suing Roblox as families have filed dozens of recent private cases alleging abuse or exposure to inappropriate content.
  • Related developments include a California judge directing a high-profile Roblox case to proceed in public court rather than arbitration, with reports also noting a criminal investigation in Florida.
