Quasi Govermental Officials + Cyber Security Training

Does Texas require cyber security training for government officials? Generally yes.

Does this apply to appraisal review board members? No because there is no definition of elected official even though the act specifically mentions that it applies to Appraisal Review Boards

Do I need to know more? To get to this conclusion, it relied on an Opinion from 1984 which said the election code didn’t apply to appraisal review board members.

Why do we care? Appraisal Review Board members handle property tax information, appeals, commercial property tax documents, zombie or dark store tax issues. This is going to include a lot of financial information that hackers might like or use for hacking fun times.
