Texas TRAIGA — healthcare-provider AI disclosure (HB 149)

If an artificial intelligence system is used in relation to health care service or treatment, the provider of the service or treatment must provide disclosure to the recipient of the service or treatment (or the recipient's personal representative) not later than the date the service or treatment is first provided. In an emergency, the disclosure must be provided as soon as reasonably possible.

Mandatory — failure to disclose creates legal exposure.

Quick facts

What it requires

• ai-in-care-notice — Disclosure to the patient or representative that an AI system is being used in relation to the patient's care.

  Example: An artificial intelligence system is being used to assist with your care.

• timing — Disclosure must be made by the date the service or treatment is first provided, except in emergencies (then as soon as reasonably possible). (Timing rule, not content.) (meta-requirement; not validated by substring check)

Sample disclosure language (plain)

An artificial intelligence system is being used in relation to your healthcare service or treatment. You may ask your provider for more information about the AI system's role in your care.

Sample disclosure language (formal)

Disclosure under the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (HB 149): an artificial intelligence system is being used in relation to the healthcare service or treatment provided to the recipient. The provider remains responsible for the service or treatment.

Notes

Texas HB 149 healthcare disclosure interacts with broader healthcare regulatory regimes (HIPAA, state medical-board rules, FDA Software-as-a-Medical-Device guidance). The disclosure under TRAIGA is the floor — additional sector rules may impose additional requirements. Texas SB 1188 (also 2025) imposes related healthcare AI obligations and should be reviewed alongside TRAIGA for any healthcare AI deployment in Texas.
