The Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, or DARS, administers programs that ensure Texas is a state where people with disabilities, and children who have developmental delays, enjoy the same opportunities as other Texans to live independent and productive lives. As of September 1, 2016, programs and services have been transferred by the Texas Legislature to the Texas Workforce Commission or the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Please consult www.dars.state.tx.us for program and contact information.
