Titus County Commissioners' Court approved raising the county's security-event liability limit for cyber incidents from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and accepted a $2,500 increase in premium. Commissioner Applewhite made the motion, Commissioner Parker seconded it, and the court voted unanimously to approve the change.

County staff described the rationale during discussion. Miss Nannette said the county now qualifies for $1,000,000 in coverage after prior budget additions for cybersecurity and related work. At a conference, staff reported a county breach example where initial response costs approached $250,000 and required stripping and rebuilding county computers, involvement from federal and local agencies, and private contractors. Miss Nannette said, “$2,500 is very minimum to spend for the amount of coverage we might need.”

No contract document or renewal date was read into the record during the meeting, and commissioners did not provide specific next-step procurement timelines during discussion.
