Denton County My Health My Resource Center announced it was targeted by a data breach by an “unauthorized party” on or around Dec. 24, 2024, which affected 108,967 patients, the center confirmed.

In a nutshell: Denton County MHMR Center stated in a news release Dec. 30 that officials took “immediate action” when they noticed unusual activity on the center’s network. After hiring a third party to investigate the activity, it was determined that the breach occurred between Dec. 24 and Dec. 25, 2024.

The center received official results after a more in-depth investigation Oct. 10 that determined nearly 109,000 former and current patients’ information was possibly impacted, including names, addresses, dates of birth, medical history and medical records.

What’s next? The center stated it has partnered with a third party to ensure additional security is being taken and that its policies and procedures related to data protection are being reviewed.

The Dallas-Fort Worth retail market’s occupancy rate climbed again in 2025, according to Texas-based real estate firm Weitzman’s latest annual forecast.

The full story: Dallas-Fort Worth finished 2025 with a retail occupancy of 95.3%, an increase to the record occupancy first reported in 2023. Executive Managing Director Bob Young called it a “retail three-peat.”

“For the first time in our [survey’s 36-year history], three years in a row, occupancy has been at record levels,” he said. “Right now, we’re celebrating the market’s highest-ever occupancy of 95.3%.”

More information: Occupancy wasn’t the only measurement that increased since last year’s report. Total inventory increased to 202 million square feet and new construction increased to 2.4 million square feet delivered, according to the retail market report. Vacant space fell to 9.5 million square feet from 9.7 million square feet in 2024.

Grocery store anchors such as H-E-B, Kroger and Target accounted for more than 1.9 million square feet of all new space delivered, Young said. That trend is expected to continue in 2026.
