The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation adopted new rules at 16 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 63, ยงยง63.1-63.5, regarding the Financial Crimes Intelligence Center program.
The adopted new rules require merchants to report skimmers on electronic terminals to law enforcement and the Financial Crimes Intelligence Center. The proposed rules are necessary to establish the procedures merchants must follow when reporting a skimmer to the FCIC and removing the skimmer from electronic terminals.
The adoption justification was published in the March 6, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 1380). The updated rule chapter will be available in the Texas Administrative Code upon its effective date of March 15, 2026.
