MPS Enterprises, Inc., a Midland, Texas-based supplier of pipe and industrial products, has reported a data security incident to the Texas Attorney General’s office affecting hundreds of individuals. Companies that maintain sensitive personal information about employees, customers, or business partners have a responsibility to protect that data from unauthorized access.
MPS Enterprises’s Data Breach Investigation
According to a filing with the Texas Attorney General’s office dated July 31, 2026, MPS Enterprises reported that a data security incident resulted in unauthorized access to personal information belonging to 481 Texas residents. The filing does not publicly disclose the cause of the incident, the date it occurred, or how it was discovered. MPS Enterprises has confirmed it notified affected individuals by U.S. Mail.
Smaller and mid-sized companies like MPS Enterprises are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, in part because they may have fewer dedicated cybersecurity resources than larger corporations while still maintaining valuable troves of employee and customer data. Industrial and supply-chain businesses in particular often hold sensitive records for vendors, contractors, and staff spanning many years, all of which can become exposed in a single security incident.
The combination of data types reported here, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and dates of birth, is especially valuable to identity thieves because it provides enough information to open new credit accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or impersonate a victim with government agencies. Individuals who receive notice of this kind of exposure are generally advised to act quickly rather than wait for evidence that their information has actually been misused, since fraudulent use of stolen identity information can occur months or even years after a breach.
As of this writing, MPS Enterprises has not issued a public statement beyond its regulatory filing describing the specific circumstances of the incident, which is common for smaller companies that may not have dedicated public-relations resources for cybersecurity incidents. The Texas Attorney General’s data breach reporting portal remains the primary public source of information about this incident.

The exact date of the underlying security incident has not been publicly disclosed. MPS Enterprises reported the breach to the Texas Attorney General’s office on July 31, 2026, and confirmed that notice was provided to affected individuals via U.S. Mail.
What Information Was Breached?
According to the Texas Attorney General filing, the information involved in this incident includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and dates of birth of the 481 affected individuals.
