Nathen Barton, a known TCPA litigator, has filed 59 lawsuits under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)—39 in small claims courts (where complaints are not publicly accessible) and 20 in federal courts. Federal records reveal that these 20 cases were triggered by calls to four different phone numbers, none of which appear to be his primary residential line.
The 469-347-2139 Number: Another Questionable Link
Ownership: Currently registered to Antonio Huerta—not Nathan Barton.
Carrier: T-Mobile wireless line.
DNC Listings: On the National Do Not Call Registry since February 11, 2021. Also listed on the Texas DNC Registry.
Legal Red Flag: If Barton doesn’t own this number, how can he claim damages for calls made to it?
Quote from Blacklist Litigator :
*“This T-Mobile number was flagged in 2022 as tied to Barton’s litigation, yet it belongs to someone else. Defense attorneys should demand proof of his legal right to sue over calls to this line.”*
Conclusion:
A Pattern of Exploitation
Barton’s use of four different numbers, three of which are registered to other individuals, suggests a deliberate strategy to manufacture TCPA claims.
Courts should dismiss cases where Barton cannot prove:
The number was his residential line.
He had legal authority to sue for calls made to third-party numbers.
