Donors and intended donation recipients, or their estates, can sue over malicious disaster fundraising that meets the law’s criminal definition. Winners receive three times the donations covered by their claim, plus reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees. They can also seek extra damages meant to punish the wrongdoer. This remedy covers claims arising on or after the act’s effective date: the 91st day after the legislative session ends.
With intent to defraud or harm, soliciting fake disaster donations or donations intended to be kept is a felony. So is charging disaster victims after leading them to believe the services were free volunteer help. These crimes are third-degree felonies for a first offense and second-degree felonies for later offenses. Fabricating an official disaster donation designation makes them first-degree felonies. Seeking payment by deceiving victims about finding or returning a relative missing in a disaster is a first-degree felony. Theft of property worth less than $30,000 is a state jail felony when stolen in a disaster area after being entrusted to an actual or claimed disaster volunteer. Disaster areas include places under federal, state, or local disaster declarations or emergency evacuation orders. The general disaster punishment increase does not apply to this theft category, and the theft changes cover offenses committed on or after the act’s effective date.
The Texas Secretary of State runs a voluntary disaster donation designation program and must issue its rules promptly after the act takes effect. Local governments submit nonprofits or financial institutions for state approval to collect donations during a declared disaster threatening their area. Qualifying declarations come from the President, Texas Governor, or the local governing body’s presiding officer. Local governments must list approved groups in emergency plans and post their names, contact details, and scam-avoidance information online. Other groups can still collect donations without this designation.
