Department of Aging and Disability Services
Rule Transfer

During the 84th Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 200, addressing the reorganization of health and human services delivery in Texas. As a result, some agencies were abolished and their functions transferred to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Texas Government Code, §531.0202(b), specified the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) be abolished September 1, 2017, after all its functions were transferred to HHSC in accordance with Texas Government Code, §531.0201 and §531.02011. Certain sections in the former DADS rules in Texas Administrative Code, Title 40, Part 1, Chapter 72, Memorandum of Understanding with Other State Agencies are being transferred to Texas Administrative Code, Title 26, Part 1, Chapter 3, Memorandum of Understanding with Other State Agencies.

The rules will be transferred in the Texas Administrative Code effective November 29, 2024.

The following table outlines the rule transfer:
