CVS Caremark has agreed to pay Texas $315,000 and overhaul its information security system to settle an identification-related lawsuit brought by the state.

The suit alleged the drugstore operator dumped credit card numbers, medical information and other material from more than 1,000 customers into a garbage bin in Liberty after a store relocated.

CVS says the improper disposal violated company policies and the store manager's been fired.
