IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
DALLAS DIVISION
Civil Action No. 3:23-cv-01134-E
If You Received a TEXT MESSAGE from Jefferson Dental
You May Be Entitled to a Payment from a Class Action Settlement
A court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that JDC Healthcare Management, LLC (“Jefferson Dental” or “Defendant”) continued to send text messages to telephone numbers after being asked to stop in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). Jefferson Dental denies that it engaged in any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right.
- Settlement Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms are eligible to receive a cash recovery.
- Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read this Notice carefully.
- If you received a postcard notice and/or email Notice, Jefferson Dental's records indicate that you are likely a member of the Settlement Class.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND POSITIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT |
|
| SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM | If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you must timely submit a completed Claim Form to receive a payment. If the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final and effective and you remain in the Settlement Class, you will receive your cash recovery by check. |
| EXCLUDE YOURSELF | You have the right to exclude yourself from the Settlement. If you do, you will not be a member of the Settlement Class, you will not receive any cash recovery from the Settlement, and you will retain the right to file your own lawsuit. |
| OBJECT | If you do not exclude yourself, you may object to the Settlement. You may submit written objections to the Court if you do not like the Settlement. |
| DO NOTHING | You will remain a member of the Settlement Class, but you will not receive a payment if you fail to timely submit a completed Claim Form, and you will give up your right to bring your own lawsuit against Defendant about the Claims in this lawsuit. |
- These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the FAQs and Key Dates sections of the website and in the Long Form Notice found in the Important Court Documents section.
- The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If it does, and after any appeals are resolved, benefits will be distributed to those who submit qualifying Claim Forms. Please be patient. The earliest that benefits could be distributed is mid-March of 2025 to those who submit qualifying Claim Forms.
