Yes. According to Texas statutes, out-of-state advance directives are valid in Texas if they were created in compliance with the laws of the state where you executed them. However, a health care directive from another state may not authorize the withdrawal of medical procedures in a way that would be against Texas law.
Although your advance directives from another state may be legal in Texas, it’s a good idea to create new documents that are tailored to the Texas requirements. With a Texas health care directive in hand, you can be confident that your selections are valid and comply with Texas law. You can create a Texas health care directive that’s customized to your needs with FindLaw quickly and conveniently.
