Overview
The 89th Texas Legislature established the Texas Cyber Command (TXCC) through House Bill 150 to strengthen statewide cybersecurity operations and transfer cybersecurity functions to TXCC from the Department of Information Resources (DIR). TXCC now serves as the state’s centralized authority for cybersecurity functions.
This transition does not change how state agencies, local governmental entities, and other stakeholders access cybersecurity services at this time.
What This Means for You
Cybersecurity services continue without interruption during this transition. At this time, there is no change to:
- Cybersecurity services
- Incident reporting procedures
- Service levels or response timelines
- Access to cybersecurity resources
State agencies, local governmental entities, and other stakeholders should continue using cybersecurity services exactly as they do today unless otherwise notified. No action is required at this time.
Incident Reporting Processes
Cybersecurity incident reporting remains fully operational with no changes to processes or points of contact.
Continue reporting incidents using established procedures and channels. If reporting processes change in the future, TXCC or DIR will provide notice in advance.
DIR Website Content Transition
Cybersecurity-related content will transition from DIR’s website to txcc.texas.gov in phases, but will remain on the DIR website until migration milestones are completed.
During this period:
- Existing DIR cybersecurity pages will remain accessible
- Services will continue without change
- Updates will be communicated before any changes take effect
Looking Ahead
To ensure operational continuity and prevent interruptions in service, TXCC and DIR are proceeding with this transition in structured phases. If any changes affecting stakeholders occur, TXCC or DIR will provide advance notice outlining the impact. Until such notice is issued, continue using cybersecurity services and reporting processes as you do today.
