Can I collect third-party data from participants in Texas? What are the requirements?
Based on the documents provided, the requirements for collecting third-party data in Texas depend on the specific context.
If you are collecting data related to medical expenses for TANF recipients who receive Medicaid, you must comply with third-party resource requirements [1.2][1.3]. This includes identifying and pursuing any third party who may be liable for medical expenses and reimbursing the State for medical expenses paid by Medicaid that should have been paid from a third-party resource.
If you are collecting data from members of the Health Professions Council, you must follow the data collection procedures outlined in 25 TXAC 13.52 [2.1][2.2]. This includes submitting a reasonably detailed request to the relevant member of the Health Professions Council and providing a secure means of transmitting resultant data.
If you are requesting a data file containing data elements from the Department of Public Safety, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, you must follow the procedures outlined in Tex. Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 66.202 [3.1][3.3]. This includes submitting an annual request or obtaining approval from the director of the agency maintaining the requested records for a non-annual request.
Therefore, the requirements for collecting third-party data in Texas depend on the specific context and the type of data being collected.
