Companies have to be very careful with AI products in international markets and even some US states because there are a number of different AI legislations in that need to be checked.
This is why cutting edge models are delayed in certain regions.

I think Texas has some recent law that could be interpreted as being against twinning tech / deep fakes like the voice cloning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems like a good time to "ask the lawyers" and "not make a not political statement"
Even a passing glance it would be immediately clear that it's not a real risk of any sort.
