The Texas Department of State Health Services collects, analyzes and reports data relating to the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the state. In addition, an annual report is submitted to the Governor and members of the Texas Legislature.
State laws require that Texas hospitals administering ECT provide information on a quarterly basis to the department on the number of patients receiving treatments, and the type of equipment used. The information is maintained by the Office of the Behavioral Health Medical Director.
The Texas Administrative Code contains the rules pertaining to electroconvulsive therapy in Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 405, Subchapter E.
