How emergency care is organized in Texas

Texas has a statewide trauma system, licensed freestanding emergency rooms and hospital emergency departments. Knowing the difference helps you choose care.

State trauma designation

The Texas Department of State Health Services designates trauma facilities at four levels: Level I (Comprehensive), Level II (Major), Level III (Advanced) and Level IV (Basic). Designations are time-limited and renewed.

Freestanding emergency rooms

Licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, they must be open 24 hours a day and staffed by an emergency physician. Texas law requires them to post notices about the health plans they participate in and about facility fees.

Trauma Service Areas

Texas is divided into 22 Trauma Service Areas, each with a Regional Advisory Council that coordinates trauma care among hospitals and EMS. Greater Houston is served by the Southeast Texas Regional Advisory Council (SETRAC).

Injured at work in Texas?

Texas workers’ compensation rules differ from other states. This is general information, not legal advice.

  1. Get care firstCall 911 for a serious injury. Tell the treating facility the injury happened at work.
  2. Report it to your employerReport the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Ask whether your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance; not every Texas employer does.
  3. Keep your recordsSave discharge papers, bills and follow-up instructions. They help with insurance and workplace claims.
  4. Use official guidanceThe Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation, publishes official information for injured employees.

Where InjuryER covers Texas

Texas emergency care questions

Which Texas cities are covered?

InjuryER currently lists verified facilities in Houston (including the Texas Medical Center, Houston Heights and Montrose) and Beaumont. Additional Greater Houston cities are being verified now.

How do I know if a Texas hospital is a trauma center?

Check the Texas Department of State Health Services list of designated trauma facilities. In this directory, a trauma level appears on a listing only when it is on that official list.

Are Texas freestanding emergency rooms the same as urgent care?

No. A licensed freestanding emergency room must be open 24/7 with an emergency physician on site and can handle emergencies that urgent care clinics cannot. It usually costs more than urgent care, and it is not a trauma center.

Does every Texas employer have workers' compensation?

No. Texas allows many private employers to opt out of workers’ compensation coverage. Ask your employer how a workplace injury will be handled, and see the Texas Department of Insurance for official guidance.

Not affiliated with any emergency room. InjuryER is an independent information resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or compensated by the facilities listed, and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Listings are compiled from official facility websites, health-system pages and state agency sources (such as the Texas Department of State Health Services trauma facility list), and each shows its last verification date. Hours, services, insurance participation and ownership can change; call the facility or check its official website before you go when your condition allows. A freestanding emergency room is not a trauma center unless state records say so. Listing order does not indicate quality, speed or wait time. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
