Davison Design & Development $30M Unsolicited Text Settlement

Washington residents who had a Washington-area-code cellular number between Nov. 15, 2021, and Dec. 10, 2025, and received one or more text messages from Davison Design & Development Inc. for which they had not signed up may be eligible to claim a cash payment from a class action settlement.

Davison Design & Development Inc. agreed to pay $30,000 to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging it sent commercial text messages to Washington residents without their prior consent in violation of Washington’s Commercial Electronic Mail Act. The class includes approximately 480 members.

Who can file a claim?

Class members must meet all of the following criteria:

• They resided in Washington at any time between Nov. 15, 2021, and Dec. 10, 2025.
• They had a Washington-area-code cellular number during that period.
• They received one or more text messages from Davison Design & Development Inc. during that period.
• They did not sign up to receive those text messages.
• Davison Design & Development sent the text message after the number was last disconnected and reassigned as determined by the Reassigned Number Database updated as of Feb. 16, 2026.

The settlement administrator identified phone numbers from Davison’s records and sent notice by text or postcard to potentially eligible class members. However, those who did not receive a notice may still be eligible if Davison’s records include their phone number.

How much can class members receive?

The settlement fund is $30,000. After deducting attorneys' fees and costs, the settlement administrator will distribute funds equally among all class members who submit valid claims.
