Revision 24-2; Effective Dec. 2, 2024

Note: A person receiving services in this handbook refers to an individual receiving services as defined in 26 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Section 711.3.

The Employee Misconduct Registry (EMR) is a public database maintained by HHSC. EMR makes sure unlicensed personnel who commit acts of abuse, neglect, or exploitation against people receiving services are denied employment with certain facilities and providers.

A person whose name is listed on the EMR is permanently denied employment with certain facilities and providers. Facilities and providers whose employees are subject to EMR may not employ a person listed on the EMR. Other employers may use the EMR as an employment screening tool.

The Employee Misconduct Registry Search System offers the Employability Status Check Search and EMR Public Information Search. Any interested party may use the system on this public website.
