# TCPA Compliance for Insurance Agents

TCPA violations carry $500–$1,500 penalties per call/text. Class actions regularly result in multi-million dollar settlements.

## 2026 Rules

**One-to-one consent**: Consumers must consent specifically to YOUR company — not a lead aggregator's partner list. Consent must include timestamp, method, and specific language.

## Safe Practices

**Lead acquisition**: Only buy leads with one-to-one consent documentation. Never call aged leads (90+ days) without re-confirming. **Calling**: Maintain internal DNC list, honor opt-outs immediately, limit to 8AM–9PM consumer time zone. **Texting**: Separate consent, STOP instructions in every text, process opt-outs immediately.

unLocked CRM enforces TCPA at the platform level — DNC scrubbing, consent tracking, opt-out processing, and time restrictions.
