HB 983 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the confidentiality of certain information held by the Texas Education Agency.

HB 983 protects specific personal information of educators held by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) from public disclosure. The bill makes home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, driver's license details, emergency contacts, dates of birth, and social security numbers confidential, exempting them from standard public records disclosure requirements under Texas law. This directly affects educators whose personal data is maintained in TEA records. The legislation amends the Government Code to establish these confidentiality protections without changing how TEA collects or uses the information.
