• A business that holds sensitive personal information must notify the people affected by a breach and, when at least 250 Texas residents are involved, must also notify the Texas Attorney General within 60 days of determining that the breach happened. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.053
• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Hedley, that means asking Donley County and the City of Hedley. Official source
