Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)
MIS-C is a rare but serious complication associated with COVID-19. DSHS has launched a new multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) data webpage, replacing the MIS-C count table previously located on this page. You can view the data page at
dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/mis-c/mis-c-data. The data will continue to be updated monthly.

Notice of Stakeholder Meeting for 2024-2025 Biennium Legislative Appropriations Request
DSHS wants to hear from the public as it prepares its 2024-2025 Legislative Appropriations Request. The LAR is the agency’s funding request ahead of next year’s meeting of the Texas Legislature and reflects agency priorities for the upcoming two-year budget cycle. After it is submitted later this summer, the Legislative Budget Board will review the LAR and make funding recommendations to the Legislature, which builds and passes the state budget.
The DSHS LAR hearing will let people tell the agency what they think is important for public heath to focus on in the coming years. It is scheduled for July 26 at 1 p.m. in Austin and will be streamed online. You can find more information at
