Consolidated Budget Request
The HHS Consolidated Budget Request summarizes the requests for legislative appropriations for the Texas health and human services agencies. The request highlights critical funding needs across the agencies and categorizes the requests to help decision makers and the public analyze the service and operational needs throughout the state's health and human services system. Major federal funding issues are identified and provider rate methodologies are included for legislative consideration.
Operating Budgets
The Operating Budget gives a point-in-time snapshot of past years and a projection of a future year. It is produced every odd numbered year and is submitted to the Governor's Office of Budget, Planning and Policy as well as the Legislative Budget Board.
