I am sure when you are in an ambulance the last thing you are worried about is your personal information. However, people who got a ride from Express EMS Services in Houston Texas are wondering about it today. A self proclaimed dumpster diver found all the personal information an identity thief would need. He notified KTRK who came out and took some great video of the dumpster.

Any company in Texas that risks throwing personal information in the trash when you know the AG is targeting the practice is not very bright. Stay tuned for the post about the fine they will be paying.

If you are in Houston and don't want to pay big fines to the state then stop by Shred Nations to start your shredding.

Last week we reported on William Weber, a Houston attorney who was too cheap to hire a shredding service to protect his clients, or even pay for disposal, and left boxes and boxes of personal information in a dumpster of a day care center.

I can't speak to his ability as an attorney but it seems like he should know that this is against the Texas ID Theft Act. Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott is now investigating the violation.

This is second story from Houston of personal records being left for anyone to find. This time it was Supreme Builders who left home sales documents in an unfinished house. It is ironic that a city that Enron made famous for shredding too much is now in the news for not shredding enough.

I don't want to belittle what happened but the local news may have gone over the top with the video of the people digging through the files.

We might have a winner for the cheapest attorney in Houston. William Weber not just dumped his clients personal information in the trash for anyone to find but he was even to cheap to pay for the dumpster. He had his wife leave them behind a daycare. When asked if he should be required to protect his clients personal information he didn't think so.

This isn't the first lawyer who has used the "go ahead and sue me" approach to shirking their responsibilities. I am guessing a paper shredding service would be less than what he charges per hour. See the video.
