How hard is it to cancel TXU Energy?
TXU Energy scores 66/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, online (self-serve).
TXU Energy customers cancel or transfer service by calling customer care (e.g. 1-866-278-4898) or via online chat; TXU coordinates with the local TDU for a final meter read and issues a final bill for usage through the last day of service. Fixed-term plans carry an early termination fee scaling with term length (commonly $150 / $295 / $395 for 12 / 24 / 36-month plans). As a Texas REP, customers have a 3-day right of rescission after enrollment, and TXU must send a contract-expiration notice within ~30 business days during which customers can switch fee-free. Fees are waived for qualifying moves and for switching to an equal-or-longer TXU plan; exact terms are in the Terms of Service Agreement, EFL and Your Rights as a Customer documents.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
