PLEASE NOTE:
Access and release of prescription data is statutorily restricted in accordance with the Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter Texas Health and Safety Code, Sec. 481.076 (a-3) and (a-4). The board (Texas State Board of Pharmacy) ensures that the department (Department of Public Safety) has unrestricted access at all times to information submitted to the board under Sections 481.074 (q)and 481.075. The department's access to the information shall be provided through a secure electronic portal under the exclusive control of the department. The department shall pay all expenses associated with the electronic portal. A law enforcement or prosecutorial official described above (Sec. 481.076 (a-3)) may obtain information submitted to the board under Section 481.074 (q)and 481.075 only if the official submits a request to the department. If the department finds that the official has shown proper need for the information, the department shall provide access to the relevant information. Any additional entity or subject after initial approval must be in direct relation to the current investigation.

All records reflect personal medical information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Effective September 1, 2019, law enforcement requests for prescription data should be directed to the Board of Pharmacy. As a result of the recent passage of HB 3284, DPS will no longer be authorized to access or disseminate prescription data on behalf of law enforcement agencies.
