Due to reductions and delays in our federal funding, Disability Rights Texas has made the difficult decision to temporarily pause the intake of new applications for our services beginning Friday, May 16, at 4 p.m. Though we originally planned to pause for two weeks, due to a reduction in staff we are extending the time for an extra week and now will resume intake services on Monday, June 9, at 10 am Central Time. New intake hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 3 pm Central Time.
All other DRTx services will continue including serving clients with open cases. For information about your rights, our website is available 24/7 at www.DRTx.org/Resources.
Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.
