I understand that prior actions taken in reliance on this authorization by entities that had permission to access my health information will not be affected

SIGNATURE AUTHRIZATION: I have read this form and agree to the uses and disclosure of the information as described. I understand that refusing to sign this form does not stop disclosure of health information that has occured prior to revocation or that is otherwise permitted by law without my specific authorization or permission, including disclosures to covered entities as provided by Texas Health & Safety Code $ 181.154(c) and/or 181.154(c) and/or 45 C.F.R $ 164.502(a)(1).

A minor individual’s signature is required for the release of certain types of information, including for example, the release of information related to certain types of reproductive care, sexually transmitted diseases, and drug, alcohol or substance abuse, and mental health treatment (See, e.g., Tex. Fam. Code $ 32.003).
