Syeed argues in the lawsuit that the campaign has violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

The law bans automated telephone equipment being used to send calls or texts to people’s cellphones without their permission — except for emergencies.

Syeed says he received nine messages from the organization without giving the campaign permission to contact him, according to the newspaper.

He is demanding at least $500 per text message for him and all Texans who received the unwanted texts.

Syeed tried calling the phone number and texting back to get the messages to stop, but the number was disconnected and he never received a response.
