Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is a state government agency based in Austin that oversees public health and related social services for Texas’s large and fast-growing population. HHSC directly administers Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and SNAP food benefits, and it provides administrative oversight for several state agencies, including the Department of Aging and Disability Services, the Department of State Health Services, the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, and the Department of Family and Protective Services. The agency operates within a broader health and human services system, with a multi‑billion-dollar budget and a sizable statewide workforce. Medicaid and CHIP comprise the largest program component, supported by a system of managed care that covers millions of Texas residents through multiple managed care organizations.

The HHSC maintains a statewide footprint with facilities across Texas in addition to its Austin headquarters. Its primary customers are Texas residents who qualify for health coverage and food benefits, with HHSC shaping policy and administration to deliver those services. A 2026 development linked to its network is the Department of State Health Services launching a new sterilization program for dogs and cats to expand spay/neuter efforts across urban and rural communities.
