Last updated on

If you’re interested in issues surrounding brain injury, you may want to apply to be a member of the Texas Brain Injury Advisory Council. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission executive commissioner will appoint members to the council to serve a term expiring Dec. 31, 2026.

Applications are due by 11:59 p.m., Mar. 22.

HHSC will consider the applicants' qualifications, background and interest in serving on the council and will try to choose council members who represent the diversity of all Texans. For this reason, HHSC considers applicants' ethnicity, gender and geographic location.

A council member must regularly take part in council meetings. They may also have to take part in subcommittee meetings or other related activities. Council meetings are held about once every three months in Austin or at the call of the presiding officer.To the extent permitted by the current state budget, a council member who is serving in the role of a brain injury survivor or is a family member actively involved in the care of a loved one who has sustained a brain injury may be repaid for their travel expenses to and from meetings if money is available and in accordance with the HHSC Travel Policy. Council members serving in a professional role aren’t paid to attend or travel to and from council meetings.

HHSC prefers that you submit your application electronically, but you may submit the application by email, mail or fax to the following addresses:
