If Texas Department of State Health Services had your data

  1. Look for Texas Department of State Health Services’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
  2. Check your health insurer’s statements for treatment you never had.
  3. Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be Texas Department of State Health Services, your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
