Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against Deposition Solutions, doing business as Lexitas, a Houston, Texas litigation support company, on behalf of individuals whose personal information may have been exposed when files in its OnDemand (DepositionNet) application were accessible over the internet without authentication from in or around September 2019 until May 2026.

What happened
Deposition Solutions, doing business as Lexitas, provides litigation support services, including court reporting and deposition transcript services. According to its notice letter, on May 29, 2026, Deposition Solutions learned from a customer that a web server configuration error had caused certain files in its OnDemand (DepositionNet) application to become accessible over the internet without authentication. The company's investigation determined that the configuration error occurred in or around September 2019 and was not detected at the time.
The letter states that Deposition Solutions restricted access to the affected server within hours and began an investigation. The affected files consisted primarily of deposition transcripts, exhibits, and other legal documents. The letter, posted by the California Attorney General, states that data on the server may have contained a person's name combined with a Social Security number, driver's license number, financial account information, date of birth, medical information, or health insurance information. Because the available server logs were limited, the company could not determine whether a specific person's information was viewed, copied, or downloaded.
The letter is dated October 14, 2026, more than four months after the exposure was discovered. The company says identifying affected individuals required extensive manual review because personal information was scattered throughout written testimony. Deposition Solutions is offering single-bureau credit monitoring through Cyberscout, and the letter's section for Rhode Island residents states that approximately 14,361 individuals nationwide were affected.
Whether the company's security practices met legal standards, including how long the files remained accessible without detection, and whether the notification timing caused additional harm, are among the issues being evaluated.
