Notice of Data Breach Update

Texas physician practices and other health care facilities soon will be required to give more timely and public notice of any breaches of computerized data, including electronic health records (EHRs) and billing information.

During the 2023 regular legislative session, state lawmakers passed Senate Bill 768 by Sen. Tan Parker (R-Flower Mound), which takes effect Sept. 1. The law requires anyone doing business in Texas to notify the state attorney general of computer security breaches involving the sensitive, personal information of at least 250 individuals as soon as possible, and not later than 30 days after discovery, down from 60 days.
