HOUSTON, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Psychiatry of Texas PLLC writes to notify you of a data privacy event that involved protected health information (PHI).

What Happened? On March 31, 2026, we learned of an anomaly on our network and launched an immediate investigation. We engaged cybersecurity specialists to assist us in our investigation. Ultimately, we determined that our company experienced a data privacy event involving unauthorized access to our systems on March 31, 2026. On that date, we believe PHI belonging to certain of our patients, as well as patients of healthcare providers we support, was acquired.

What Information Was Involved? The information involved varied by individual but may have included first and last name along with a Social Security number, date of birth, medical diagnosis or treatment information, health insurance information, and electronic identification or account number, username, email address, a parent's premarital surname, or password.

Individuals whose information was involved and for whom we had address information were provided written notice on August 27, 2026.

What We Are Doing. We investigated this matter to determine whether any PHI was involved and, if so, to whom it related. As an added precaution, we are offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services, free of charge, to individuals whose Social Security numbers were involved through HaystackID.

What Involved Individuals Can Do. Generally, it is best practice to remain vigilant for incidents of identity theft and fraud, from any source, by reviewing and monitoring your account statements and credit reports for suspicious activity and errors. If you discover any suspicious or unusual activity on your accounts, promptly contact your financial institution or service provider.

Individuals can further educate themselves regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, credit freezes, and the steps to take to protect personal information by contacting the credit reporting bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or state Attorneys General. The FTC also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them. The FTC may be reached at 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261.
