What are the approved methods of destroying old medical records in the state of Texas?
Try the Texas Medical Board’s website www.tmb.tx.us
It may be that you are thinking of HIPAA which is a federal law.
I’d contact a bonded document destruction company and ask them if they are authorized to do medical records They’ll come to you, either shred the files on site or take them off to be shredded and give you a receipt.
