| Three Real Estate LLCsource ↗ filed by Hopkins Law Firm LLC · Judge Bruce Howe Hendricks · No. 2:26-cv-03253 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $28M–$76M ▾TCPA robocall/text theories have been narrowed by circuits like Howard v. RNC and Perrong v. Bradford, both dismissing claims on technical statutory-scope grounds, while League of Women Voters v. Kramer shows TCPA robocall claims can survive a motion to dismiss when injury is well-pled. Outcome likely turns on whether calls/texts meet the 'artificial or prerecorded voice' or ATDS definitions post-Howard. Comparable settlements $28M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, L.L.C. $61M · ccAdvertising $32.42M Key precedent: Howard v. Republican National Committee (9th Cir.) — narrows TCPA text-message liability to calls that begin with a prerecorded/artificial voice, a common defense angle for small-business defendants. Main risk: Dismissal for failing to plead that calls/texts meet TCPA's technical 'artificial/prerecorded voice' or autodialer requirements, as in Howard and Hulce. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $15K–$1.50M Small, local defendant with no prior TCPA history; class size and per-member figures are rough estimates absent discovery on call volume or CRM data. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | D.S.C. | 2026-08-05 | $28M–$76M comparable settlements |
