Texas recently enacted an amendment to its data breach notification law. As of September 1, 2023, there are two changes to the requirements when notifying the Texas Attorney General. In Texas, breaches of 250 residents or more must be reported to the Attorney General. Now, as amended, this will need to be done so as soon as practicable, and not later than 30 days from determination of the breach (previously, it was 60 days).

Notification in Texas must also be submitted electronically using a form on the AG’s website.Continue Reading Texas Amends Data Breach Notification Law, Updates Effective September 1
