Under the law, you may ask DHS to limit the uses and disclosures of your individually identifiable health information more than the law requires. The law also says that DHS is not required to agree to any limit you ask for. Thus, you may ask DHS to limit the disclosure of information about you by writing to the DHS Privacy Officer at Texas Department of Human Services Y-994, P.O. Box 149030, Austin, Texas 78714-9030. However, DHS will not be able to agree to your request. The volume and nature of the information DHS handles makes it impractical for DHS to agree to limit its use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information more than the law requires.
