Healthcare Directive Requirements in Dallas, Texas
Under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 166, healthcare directive documents may need specific language, signatures, witnesses, or notarization to take legal effect. A Directive to Physicians and a Medical Power of Attorney may each be signed before two competent adult witnesses or acknowledged before a notary (Health and Safety Code §§ 166.032, 166.154). When witnesses are used, the first witness must meet the disinterested-witness restrictions in § 166.003(2). The Medical Power of Attorney follows the § 166.164 statutory form, which embeds the required disclosure statement. Legacy Legal AI provides a structured template, not legal advice, and does not determine whether a document is suitable for your situation.
