Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) reported a data security incident where personal information was reportedly exposed. The breach occurred on February 5, 2026, and TMHP subsequently filed an official notice with the Texas Attorney General on June 22, 2026. An investigation into the scope and impact of this incident is currently underway.
If you have received a formal breach notification letter from TMHP, it means your personal information was likely among the compromised files. Texas law, specifically Business and Commerce Code Chapter 521, requires entities like TMHP to notify affected individuals when their unencrypted personal information is exposed. This notification is meant to inform you of the incident and guide you on necessary actions.
Following a data breach, federal laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), provide you with specific rights. You are entitled to place a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit reports to help prevent unauthorized activity. It is also wise to monitor any offers for complimentary credit monitoring or identity protection services from TMHP, change passwords for critical online accounts, and remain vigilant for any suspicious communications or financial activity.
When an organization fails to adequately protect your personal information, it may give rise to potential legal claims. These could be based on negligence or other failures to uphold their legal duties to safeguard your data. The viability of such a claim depends on the specific facts of the breach and the applicable laws in Texas.
Navigating the aftermath of a data breach and understanding your legal options can be complex. Many law firms offer a free case review to help affected individuals understand their rights under Texas and federal law and discuss potential next steps, without any obligation.
