This report confirms that an unauthorized party gained access to systems containing personal information managed by the organization. The breach date is identified as February 5, 2026, indicating a period of potential access before discovery or reporting.

In this role, the entity maintains sensitive personal information necessary for various functions, including processing claims and verifying eligibility. While the specific categories of data involved in this incident have not been detailed, the nature of TMHP's operations suggests that a wide array of personal information could have been affected.

If you received a formal data breach notification letter from the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership, it indicates that your personal information was likely included in the compromised files. It is crucial to carefully review this letter. It should provide specific details about the incident, any offered identity protection services, and instructions on how to enroll.

Beyond reviewing your notification, consider proactive steps to protect yourself. Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any unusual activity. Be wary of unsolicited communications, especially those asking for personal details. Changing passwords for online accounts, particularly those associated with TMHP, is also a recommended precaution.
