Public Utility Commission of Texas
The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) states: That the reliability of your electric service will not be affected in any way by your decision to switch to another electric provider. The PUC will continue to regulate the delivery of electricity to your home making sure to provide the same level of service to all customers regardless of who their electrical provider is.

- Slamming and Cramming: Slamming is switching your electric service provider without your permission. Cramming is adding charges to your electric bill for additional services without your permission. Both slamming and cramming are illegal.
- Dispute Resolution: Retail Electric Providers must promptly investigate customer complaints and customers have the right to make complaints about a Retail Electric Provider to the PUC.
- Privacy of Information: No Retail Electric Provider can release any customer-specific information to another Retail Electric Provider or any other companies without your permission.

- A "Your Rights as a Customer" disclosure: This informs you of your standard customer protections as mandated by the PUC.
