Paxton accuses Allstate of collecting driver location and movement data without consent to raise insurance rates in the state.

Allstate has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the insurer on Monday of illegally tracking drivers through their cell phones without their consent and using the data to justify charging more for car insurance.

Allstate and its subsidiary, Arity, are being sued by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for allegedly collecting, using and selling data from Texans' cell phones unlawfully.
