Federal Grant Award Summary

Disability Rights Texas received a $136,351 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Disabilities under the State Grants for Protection and Advocacy Services program (CFDA 93.873) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award supports the organization's delivery of comprehensive services to individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) across Texas, including information provision and referrals, individual and family advocacy, legal representation, and self-advocacy assistance. As the designated Protection and Advocacy system for Texas, Disability Rights Texas leverages this funding as part of its broader FY2026 grant portfolio of approximately $3.55 million to protect the constitutional and statutory rights of Texans with disabilities while promoting their independence and community participation.

The funding supports Disability Rights Texas's capacity to serve individuals with TBI through its established infrastructure of legal and advocacy services. The organization's sub-grant partnerships, including arrangements with the County of Travis for juvenile justice advocacy services, enhance service delivery across the state. As a formula-based grant, this award reflects HHS's allocation methodology and is contingent upon continued satisfactory grantee performance and the availability of appropriated funds in subsequent fiscal years.
