Tex. Health & Safety Code Section 292D.154
Purpose; Correction of Invalid Provision or Procedure

(a)

The purpose of this chapter is to generate revenue by collecting from institutional health care providers a mandatory payment to be used to provide the nonfederal share of certain Medicaid programs as described by Section 292D.103 (Local Provider Participation Fund; Authorized Uses of Money)(c)(1).

(b)

To the extent any provision or procedure under this chapter causes a mandatory payment authorized under this chapter to be ineligible for federal matching funds, the commissioners court of the county administering the program may provide by rule for an alternative provision or procedure that conforms to the requirements of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A rule adopted under this section may not create, impose, or materially expand the legal or financial liability or responsibility of the county or an institutional health care provider located in the county beyond the provisions of this chapter. This section does not require the commissioners court of a county to adopt a rule.

(c)

The county may only assess and collect a mandatory payment authorized under this chapter if a waiver program, uniform rate enhancement, or reimbursement described by Section 292D.103 (Local Provider Participation Fund; Authorized Uses of Money)(c)(1) is available to the county.
