Changes to Texas Administrative Code Chapter References for HHS System

Last updated on

As part of the transfer of duties from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, resulting from House Bill 5, 85th Legislature, Regular Session, 2017, certain rules are being relocated in the Texas Administrative Code (TAC).

Effective Oct. 18, 2024, rules in:

  • 40 TAC Social Services and Assistance, Part 1, Department of Aging and Disability Services, Chapter 58, Contracting to Provide Special Services to Persons with Disabilities.

Will be transferred to:

  • 26 TAC Health and Human Services, Part 1, Health and Human Services Commission, Chapter 282, Contracting to Provide Special Services to Persons with Disabilities.

You will need to refer to the new TAC chapters beginning Oct. 18, 2024. All letters, memoranda, and other guidance remain in effect while HHSC updates outdated references. The rule transfer notices were posted in the Sept. 20, 2024, issue of the Texas Register.

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