The Texas Department of State Health Services is a government public health agency responsible for managing vital statistics, disease surveillance, and various healthcare programs across the state. In the course of these operations, the agency maintains highly sensitive personal information, including medical histories, Social Security numbers, and detailed health insurance or diagnostic records for millions of Texas residents. This data breach was officially reported to the Texas Attorney General in 2026, triggering a formal notification process for those impacted. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal or protected health information was stored within the affected systems. This notice serves to inform you of the incident and provide guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity and medical privacy.
About the Notice You Received
If you received a data breach notification letter, notice, or mailing from Texas Department of State Health Services, this communication confirms that your personal information was exposed or accessed without authorization.
Under Texas law (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053), companies are legally required to send a written breach notification to every affected resident. This may arrive as a letter in the mail, a formal notification mailing, or an email notice — all are equally valid as evidence of harm.

Why This Breach Matters
Healthcare providers handle some of the most sensitive personal data — including medical records, insurance policy numbers, Social Security numbers, and treatment histories. When a healthcare company is breached, the risks go beyond identity theft to include medical identity fraud, where criminals use stolen insurance details to obtain prescriptions, procedures, or benefits in your name. Medical identity fraud is notoriously difficult to detect and correct.
Texas residents are protected by Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053, which gives you the right to pursue legal remedies when a company fails to adequately protect your data.
