Relating to the treatment of certain inmates of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

HB 3937 requires the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to ensure inmates with specific life-threatening medical conditions receive ongoing direct care from physicians. It defines "life-threatening conditions" to include brain tumors, strokes, cardiac arrest, and other serious health issues. The bill mandates that inmates cannot be transferred to non-physician care without written authorization from their treating physician, and non-physicians cannot alter prescribed treatments. These provisions apply directly to TDCJ inmates diagnosed with the listed conditions. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
