Is it illegal to video tape someone without their consent in Texas?

Answer 1

Depends on a bunch of stuff.

If you're not on the call as a participant, you can't legally record it without the knowledge and consent of the people on the call.

If you are one of the people speaking on the call, 38 states allow you to record the phone call without telling the other people on the call. This is only if all parties on the call are not calling from the two-party consent states of CA, CT, FL, IL, MD, MA, MT, NV, NH, PA and WA.

If you are calling someone in a different state, then you need all of the people on the call to consent to recording.

Answer 2

Texas has a "one party consent" law, which means that if you are one of the participants in the conversation or have their permission then yes, you can record any conversation or phone call, whether the other party consents or not (even if they don't know about it).

Even without the consent of either party, it may be legal if the speakers do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy (the simple fact of being on "private property" does not automatically grant a reasonable expectation of privacy).
