    Unless I missed it who pockets this money? Does any of it go to the residents that had their privacy violated? I assume it goes to the state government. Will that benefit the residents in any way? Does it all go the attorneys and politicians?

    The Texas attorney general's office has not disclosed how the settlement funds will be used, and detailed terms of the agreement have not been made public.

    And I think it would be helpful if the Texas Department Of Motor Vehicles would quit selling our personal information.
