909 So.2d 204 (2005)
John LARY d/b/a Internal Medicine Clinic
v.
AMERICAN MEDICAL PRACTICE SERVICES, INC., et al.
2040127.
Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama.
March 4, 2005.
*205 John Lary, pro se.
Submitted on appellant's brief only.
PITTMAN, Judge.
This appeal,[1] like Lary v. Flasch Business Consulting, 909 So.2d 194 (Ala.Civ.App.2005) ("Flasch II"), also decided today, involves whether a judgment in favor of particular defendants (American Medical Practice Services, Inc., and Lowell A. Davis) on claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq. ("the TCPA"),[2] which was entered in response to a request by the plaintiff, John Lary d/b/a Internal Medicine Clinic ("Lary"), for the entry of a default judgment against the defendants, is correct. As it did in Flasch II,[3] the trial court based its judgment in favor of the defendants in this case upon two essential determinations: (1) that there was no proof that the defendants had knowingly sent a nonemergency facsimile transmission over Lary's telephone line (which, the trial court concluded, was used for both emergency and nonemergency purposes), and (2) that Lary's damages were de minimis.
However, as we noted in Flasch II, "whether a defendant acts knowingly in violating the TCPA pertains only to whether an enhanced penalty or damages award should be included in a judgment in favor of a plaintiff on a TCPA claim, not to whether a plaintiff is entitled to prevail." Flasch II, 909 So.2d at 196 n. 1 (citing Lary v. Tom Taylor Agency, 878 So.2d 1165, 1167 (Ala.Civ.App.2003), and Lary v. Flasch Bus. Consulting, 878 So.2d 1158, 1161 n. 1 (Ala.Civ.App.2003) ("Flasch I")). Similarly, we noted in Flasch II that "[u]nder 47 U.S.C. § 227(b), a plaintiff may bring a TCPA action to recover either (a) the actual monetary loss from a violation of that subsection or (b) statutory damages of $500 for each such violation, whichever is greater." 909 So.2d at 196 (citing Flasch I, 878 So.2d at 1161).
*206 Based upon our reasoning in the three previous appeals to reach this court involving TCPA claims (Flasch I, Tom Taylor Agency, and Flasch II), we conclude that the trial court's judgment entered in favor of the defendants in this case was erroneous. We reverse the trial court's judgment and remand the cause for further proceedings.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
CRAWLEY, P.J., and THOMPSON, MURDOCK, and BRYAN, JJ., concur.
