Medical Power of Attorney and Directives to Physicians
Texas law provides for a Medical Power of Attorney to designate a person to act for you when you are unable to direct your own treatment. The law also provides for a Directive to Physicians, which allows you to state your wishes about the types of treatment you would choose or refuse if you were able to direct your treatment (also called a "Living Will").
The Texas Medical Association website has printable forms and instructions: Medical Power of Attorney Directive to Physicians For more details, visit the End of Life Planning above.
