Houston is the energy capital and the fourth-largest city in the US, with a massive professional services sector supporting oil & gas, healthcare, and government contracting. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act adds new compliance requirements for businesses handling personal data. Houston's government contractor community must also comply with CMMC and NIST 800-171.
Breach notification: Texas Business & Commerce Code 521.053 requires notification within 60 days.
Why It Matters
