Texas Parks & Wildlife (TPWD) Data Breach impacts 3 Million People

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department disclosed that a third‑party license vendor used for hunting and fishing license sales was compromised, potentially exposing personal data for about 3 million customers — including email addresses, phone numbers, residential addresses, and driver’s license and passport numbers (if provided). The agency reports no indication that Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or financial information were taken, is implementing additional safeguards with the vendor, and is offering one year of free credit monitoring through Kroll to impacted individuals.
