In early 2026, The College of Health Care Professions (CHCP), operated by Empowerment Schools – Healthcare Ltd and Texas Medical Careers, Limited, experienced a data breach. The incident was reported to the Texas Attorney General on February 27, 2026, with CHCP beginning to notify affected individuals via U.S. Mail around the same time.
This data breach potentially exposed sensitive personal identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) of 68,825 Texans. The confirmed data types include names combined with Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, government-issued ID numbers (such as passport and state ID), financial information (including account numbers and credit/debit card numbers), medical information, and health insurance information. Limited public details from CHCP itself are available as of early March 2026, with information primarily stemming from Texas AG filings and ongoing law firm investigations.
Details surrounding data breaches can emerge over time, and official notices to affected individuals may be delayed.
