In Article II, add the following language to the
appropriately numbered rider under the appropriations to the
Department of Health (page II-52):
10. Medical Treatment. The Texas Department of Health may
distribute funds for medical, dental, psychological or surgical
treatment provided to a minor only is consent to treatment is
obtained pursuant to Chapter 32 of the Texas Family Code, with the
exception of family planning services for minors who have
previously been pregnant or have had an infection that may have been
caused by sexual activity. In the event that compliance with this
