Illegal calls do not stop at the state line. The statute that pays you does.
This is the master index for TeleJustice Academy’s Q3 2026 quarterly law updates — Alabama through Wyoming. Each post covers that state’s current telemarketing and robocall rules, what changed in 2025–26, federal TCPA damages of $500 to $1,500 per illegal call, any state mini-TCPA on top, YouMail volume, Do Not Call complaint counts, and a conservative “left on the table” figure.

The rule that does not change
Federal TCPA damages are $500 per illegal call or text, $1,500 if a court finds the violation knowing or willful. State mini-TCPAs can stack. YouMail volume is an estimate of all robocalls, including some that are legal. The “left on the table” math in each post uses 2025 DNC complaint counts × $500 as a conservative floor — not a promise and not a class-action valuation.
You do not need a law degree. You need a log, a screenshot, and the Playbook for your state.
