Governor Greg Abbott announced a $1.5 billion investment for seven new state psychiatric hospital projects in Texas. These projects aim to expand, renovate, and build new facilities to better serve Texans in need of mental healthcare resources and critical behavioral health treatments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission will oversee the allocation of funds. The new facilities will address the state's growing mental health crisis and include inpatient psychiatric services. One of the new hospitals will be located in Amarillo. Additionally, the state is expanding mental healthcare for children.
