Texas Government Code 2054.519 State Certified Cybersecurity Training Programs requires DIR, in consultation with the Texas Cybersecurity Council, to certify at least five cybersecurity training programs for state and local government employees and Section 2054.5191 requires state and local government employees and officials to complete a certified training program. The statute also requires state government contractors to complete a certified training program.
State and local governments are required to train their employees annually on a certified training program.
Employees required to complete the training are outlined in the table below.
*State agency is defined in Chapter 2054 of Government Code, and includes a department, commission, board, office, council, authority, or other agency in the executive or judicial branch of state government that is created by the constitution or a statute of this state, including a university system or institution of higher education as defined by Section 61.003, Education Code. In addition, community colleges must comply with Texas Administrative Code Chapter 202 (TAC 202) and therefore must follow the training requirements for state agencies.

No exceptions exist for state agency contractors.
Government entities must annually certify their compliance with the training requirements by August 31, using the Cybersecurity Training Certification for State and Local Governments. The certification form has been updated for FY 21-22.
