Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is offering free credit monitoring to over 3 million Texans after a cybersecurity breach exposed personal data from the state's hunting and fishing license system. Texas Cyber Command detected the incident at a third-party licensing vendor.
Compromised data includes driver's license numbers, passport numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses. No Social Security numbers, financial data, or minors' records were affected. License sales remain unaffected.
Impacted residents can enroll in one year of free Kroll credit monitoring until September 14, 2026. Support is available at (844) 959-7123, weekdays 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
