Texas HHS — Mental Health Services

Mental Health · Texas · Free

Texas HHS oversees a statewide network of Local Mental Health Authorities (LMHAs) providing publicly funded mental health services in every county. Use their locator or call 211 to find your nearest LMHA. Services include outpatient therapy, psychiatric care, crisis intervention, and case management. Sliding fee scale — many services are free or low-cost for uninsured residents. No one is turned away due to inability to pay for emergency mental health services.
