Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Texas Department of Information Resources
government legacy
TEXASAGENCYNET is registered to the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), the state agency that runs shared technology services and statewide network contracts for Texas government.
What it's used for
- Internet connectivity for Texas state agencies. This is the routed side of the state's agency network, carrying traffic for the departments and boards that buy their connectivity through DIR.
Notable
- Almost all of the announced address space, including the IPv6 allocation, is registered to the University of Texas System under
THENET-*netnames. THEnet, the Texas Higher Education Network operated out of UT System, historically provided the backbone that state agencies rode on, and the addressing still reflects that arrangement. - The result is a government-agency autonomous system announcing university-held address space. Both facts are true and neither should be collapsed into the other.
- Roughly 90 prefixes and over 300,000 IPv4 addresses make this one of the larger US state-government networks by announced space.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
