The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) has filed a lawsuit against the United States government, challenging the constitutionality of the recently adopted Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The CTA requires nearly anyone forming a state corporate entity to disclose private information to federal law enforcement, regardless of whether they are engaged in interstate activity or suspected of any crime.

The TPPF argues that corporate formation has historically been a matter of state law and that the Founders specifically rejected proposals for federal regulation in this area. "Like many Texans, TPPF’s clients formed LLCs under state law simply to hold property in a safe and legal way. This ordinary state-based activity should not force you to disclose private information into a federal law enforcement database," the organization stated.

The Texas Public Policy Foundation is a non-profit free-market research institute based in Austin. It aims to promote liberty, opportunity, and personal responsibility. The Center for the American Future, part of TPPF, defends constitutional principles through legal challenges against government overreach at various court levels on behalf of individuals whose rights are threatened by government actions.
