DSHS has an LAR due next Monday. ASAP is providing feedback. You may view the document and leave comments in this thread, or within the document.

For more information on the LAR FY 2028-2029 public hearing, please go to

We are gathering input to inform recommendations to the Statewide Behavioral Health Coordinating Council. Your feedback is critical to ensuring provider perspectives are reflected. Please share your thoughts below.

Current System Gaps and Challenges

• What are the most significant service gaps today in the mental health and substance use treatment system in Texas?

• Which populations or regions are most impacted by these gaps, and why?

• Where do you see the most significant breakdowns in the statewide continuum of care?

• What policy or funding barriers most hinder statewide mental health and substance use treatment service delivery?

We are finalizing our recommendations for HHSC as part of the sunset review, and this is your last opportunity to submit comments.

This is a critical opportunity to ensure your voice is reflected in what we submit. HHSC is actively seeking feedback on what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change across the system.

Please add your comments directly in the document, or email Noelle at noelle@asaptexas.org
