The Texas Mental Health Code was passed as House bill 6 by the 55th Texas legislative session in May 1957 and went into effect on January 1, 1958. The purpose of the Texas Mental Health Code was to provide equitable, humane, and accessible treatment measures for mentally ill individuals while minimizing to the greatest extent possible any logistical obstacles, financial expenses, and traumatic responses to this care and maintaining the dignity and human rights of mentally ill individuals. This was the first statue that defined the state's responsibility for mental health services.
