Requirements for tuberculosis screening and testing vary across the state. If your regional Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or local health authority requires tuberculosis testing for children in your area, then you must have documentation to indicate that each child in your care is free of active tuberculosis. Documentation of a TB screening is not required to be on file. If you are unsure of the requirements for your area, contact the TB program manager at the DSHS regional office nearest you.
