Why Federal HIPAA Alone Isn't Enough in Texas

Texas HB 300 expanded state-level health privacy obligations well beyond federal HIPAA. The Texas Attorney General has independent enforcement authority and has been increasingly active against healthcare practices with weak digital controls.

Key provisions that affect your website

  • Broader definition of 'covered entity' than HIPAA — includes many businesses that handle PHI
  • Mandatory employee HIPAA training required by Texas law (not just federal recommendation)
  • Patient electronic access requirements — must provide PHI in electronic format within 15 days
  • Fines up to $250,000 per violation for intentional or reckless breaches
  • Texas AG can enforce independently — no need to wait for HHS
Market context

Texas healthcare market is the second-largest in the country and growing fastest. With rapid growth comes rapid enforcement — the Texas AG has issued more healthcare privacy actions in the past 3 years than in the previous decade combined.
