HB 4136 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the availability of certain personal information of a member of the governing board of an institution of higher education, the chief executive officer of the institution, or the chief executive officer of a university system.

HB 4136 would make certain personal information about university officials confidential under Texas law. Specifically, it exempts home addresses, phone numbers, emergency contacts, and social security numbers of university governing board members, chief executives, and university system leaders from public disclosure requirements. The bill expands existing protections by explicitly including these officials in a list of protected individuals, ensuring their personal details would not be publicly accessible through the Texas Public Information Act. This change directly affects higher education leadership across Texas public institutions.
