What happened
According to a notice filed with the California Attorney General, Texas Capital Bank experienced a security incident on April 27, 2026, which the bank states was discovered the same day. Texas Capital reports that it enacted its established protection protocols immediately upon detection and that the incident was resolved. The bank states there is no evidence of misuse of the affected information at this time.
Texas Capital completed its review and began mailing written notices to affected individuals on or around May 28, 2026, the same date the incident was reported to the California Attorney General. Approximately 86,067 individuals are reported to have been impacted. According to the official breach notice, the review confirmed that names and Social Security number information were present in the affected files. Affected individuals are being offered a complimentary 24-month membership in Experian IdentityWorks, which includes credit monitoring, fraud alerts, and identity-theft recovery services.
Because the exposed data reportedly includes Social Security numbers, affected individuals face an elevated risk of identity theft, new-account fraud, and tax-related fraud. A Social Security number cannot be reissued the way a card number can, so the potential exposure may carry long-term risk even where there is no evidence of misuse today. Individuals who received a notice should monitor their financial accounts closely and consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus.
