Summary
Texas State Auditors Office blasts Texas DMV for lax data handling, revealing 40 contracts lacking data protection rules. DMV reviews all contracts, requires companies to reapply with ID, business proof, and data use plans. However, small businesses face challenges with a one million dollar performance bond. DMV also missed new data rules from June 2021, but is now sending termination notices to non-compliant companies and pushing forward to secure Texans data.
