United States of America: Texas Attorney General filed lawsuit against Anzu Robotics over alleged deceptive marketing practices and data security misrepresentations

On 17 February 2026, the Texas Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Anzu Robotics in the District Court of Collin County, alleging violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The petition alleged that Anzu had misled consumers by marketing its Raptor T drone as an American-made and secure alternative to the Chinese manufacturer DJI, while allegedly using identical DJI hardware, firmware signed with DJI cryptographic keys, and DJI software components. The Attorney General contends that Anzu breached its duty of disclosure by failing to disclose its licensing relationship with DJI, and by misrepresenting its data practices. This includes the claim that no customer data was shared. The petition asserts that the technical architecture of the drones in question could enable DJI to access or modify firmware and potentially expose user data. The Attorney General is seeking injunctive relief, civil penalties of up to USD 10'000 per violation, and an order prohibiting further deceptive representations.
