<P><SPAN>A North Texas business reacted quickly today after learning someone in
its office had inadvertently thrown files with personal information in a
McKinney trash dumpster.</SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN>A CBS 11 viewer found the documents and emailed us about
them.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>They contained Social Security Numbers, bank statements, real estate
contracts and more.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>One of the names on the documents was Herb McJunkin's.
<SPAN> </SPAN>He wasn't very happy about it.<SPAN> </SPAN>"It should
have been shredded," he said.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>After we called McKinney Police to tell them about it, the company
realized its mistake.<SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>State law requires companies to properly dispose of their
documents.<SPAN> </SPAN>If they don't, they could face up to $50,000 in
fines.<SPAN> </SPAN>CVS Pharmacy, Radio Shack, E-Z Pawn, and Lifetime
Fitness are just some of the companies that have gotten in trouble under the
two-year-old law.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>If you come across files with personal information in a dumpster,
you're urged to call the Texas Attorney General's office.</SPAN></P>
