The proposed $30,000 settlement covered Washington residents with a Washington-area-code cell number who received Davison Design texts without signing up between November 15, 2021 and December 10, 2025. A valid claim for a pro rata cash payment was due October 13, 2026, so claims have closed; the court has not yet given final approval.
Benefit Summary
Eligible recipients of texts to reassigned numbers: Washington residents who did not sign up for Davison's texts but received them at a Washington-area-code cellular number after that number was last disconnected and reassigned. The signup and texting activity must fall between November 15, 2021 and December 10, 2025. The formal definition uses the Reassigned Number Database version last updated February 16, 2026 to determine the last disconnection date. A valid exclusion request removes a person from the settlement.
A valid, timely claim makes you eligible for a share of the money remaining after approved deductions. The amount depends on the number of approved claims and expenses; no individual dollar amount or per-text payment is promised.
The fund pays court-approved legal fees, costs and settlement administration before payments to valid claimants. Counsel plans to request 33% of the fund, including litigation costs; the court may approve less. No payment is issued until the settlement is finally approved.

Questions & Answers
Does any unwanted Davison text qualify?
No. The formal definition in notice Question 8 requires Washington residency, a Washington-area-code cellular number, no signup by the recipient, and a text after the number's last disconnection and reassignment. The relevant activity must fall within the specified period. The shorter introduction and claim declaration do not repeat every part of that definition. Ask the administrator if you are unsure about a reassigned number; a broad summary is not an individual eligibility decision.
What if I did not receive a settlement postcard?
The notice says a person may still be included if their number appears in Davison's records and the class conditions are met. The current online form can be opened without a login screen. Its Notice ID field is not marked required, while name and other required fields are marked. The paper form does not ask for a Notice ID. That does not remove the need to qualify and provide accurate information.

Do I need screenshots or old phone bills to claim?
The notice says carrier records or bills need not be submitted at this stage. The form asks for the numbers you used during the covered period, the dates you held them and a signed declaration about your number ownership and receipt of texts without signing up. These statements are made under penalty of perjury, and the administrator can verify claims. A declaration is not the same thing as a required loss-document upload.
Can I list more than one number or file twice?
List each covered number and the dates you had it on one claim. The paper form permits an extra sheet if needed. The official site says not to file both online and on paper; multiple submissions do not produce multiple payments.
Claim form and online instructions checked September 8, 2026: https://www.millertextsettlement.com/documents and https://www.millertextsettlement.com/. Keep the administrator informed if your mailing or email address changes.
How much will I receive, and when?
The $30,000 figure is the entire settlement fund, not an individual award. Your amount depends on valid claims and approved deductions. The notice does not give a per-text rate or guaranteed payment. The scheduled November 17 hearing is an approval hearing; payment comes only after the settlement becomes final, and appeals may delay it.
How do I leave the settlement or object?
The exclusion and objection deadlines are September 13, 2026, a month before claims are due. To leave, mail a signed request identifying the case, your name and address, and the numbers that received the texts, postmarked by September 13. Send it to the administrator's Mequon address. Phone and email exclusions are not accepted. Leaving gives up payment.
To object while staying in the class, follow all of notice Question 20. File with the court by September 13 and send copies to both sides' lawyers, postmarked by that date. Required details include specific reasons, your and your lawyer's previous class-action objections, any supporting orders, witnesses and your own signature. The notice supplies the full requirements and separate addresses; this summary is not a complete objection form.
What happens if I do nothing or the settlement is not approved?
Doing nothing gives you no payment. If you remain a class member and the settlement becomes final, you are bound by its release of the claims described in agreement Section 8. Exclusion is the way to preserve those claims, subject to whatever other legal limits apply.
The official site states that if approval fails or the settlement does not become final, benefits will not be distributed and litigation continues subject to court proceedings. Checked September 8, 2026: https://www.millertextsettlement.com/. You do not have to attend the scheduled hearing; check that site for changes to its time, location or format.
