The Texas Department of Human Services and its predecessors administered state and federal programs serving low-income families with children, and elderly or disabled persons (including the following: temporary financial assistance for basic family needs; nutritional assistance; access to health care; nursing home and community-based care); it regulated long-term care facilities; and it administered programs for survivors of family violence and victims of natural disasters. These functions are fully documented in these records, which include minutes, agenda, registrations and requests to appear before the board, commissioner's reports, memoranda from the commissioner to board members reporting on each agenda item, operating budgets, strategic plans, transcripts, full presentations, handbooks, resolutions, legal opinions, court documents, legislation, correspondence, and board action reports. The records comprise copies of the official minutes, agenda, and supporting documents of meetings of the Board of Human Services and its predecessors, dating 1933-2004.
