Changes to Texas Administrative Code Chapter References for HHS System

Last updated on

As part of the transformation of the Health and Human Services (HHS) system, rule chapters are being relocated in the Texas Administrative Code (TAC).

Effective Aug. 15, 2024, rules in:

  • 25 TAC Health Services, Part 1, Department of State Health Services, Chapter 412, Local Mental Health Authority Responsibilities,
    • Subchapter B, Contracts Management for Local Authorities; and
    • Subchapter C, Charges for Community Services.

Will be transferred to:

  • 26 TAC Health and Human Services, Part 1, Health and Human Services Commission, Chapter 301, Local Authority Responsibilities,
    • Subchapter A, Contracts Management for Local Authorities; and
    • Subchapter C, Charges for Community Services.

You will need to refer to the new TAC chapters beginning Aug. 15, 2024. All letters, memoranda, and other guidance remain in effect while HHSC updates outdated references. The rule transfer notices were posted in the July 19, 2024, issue of the Texas Register.

Questions about these administrative moves can be emailed to the HHS Rules Coordination Office.
