Historical Notes

In addition to the changes described on this page, the 84th Legislature, in 2015, significantly reorganized the health and human services system through Senate Bill 200, including transferring some functions from DSHS to the Health and Human Services Commission.

Also directed by Senate Bill 200, the next Sunset review of DSHS will include a review of the health care information collection program (formerly the Texas Health Care Information Council).
