Local authorities in Texas (LIDDA directory)

A local intellectual and developmental disability authority — a LIDDA — is the front door for publicly funded IDD services in Texas, including ICF/IID enrollment and interest lists for HCS and Texas Home Living. Some still use an older “MHMR” name. There are 39 authorities on HHSC’s public directory.

The most reliable way to reach a local authority is the phone number on its card and the official HHSC LIDDA directory. We also list each website as HHSC published it, except when a published address no longer leads to the authority — that link is omitted rather than replaced. Treat the phone number and the official directory as the primary contact path.
