If you are 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 December 31, 2027, or July 1, 2028, when by rule, the council is set to abolish 

Application deadline:

Applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on November 9, 2026

HHSC will review applicants’ qualifications, experience, and interest in serving on the council and seeks members who reflect the geographic diversity of Texas.

Council participation:

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 are not paid to attend or travel to and from council meetings.
