The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) may use appropriated funds to provide medical attention and hospitalization by correctional medical staff, or pay a necessary medical expense for an employee injured while performing the duties of a hazardous position, if the cost is not reimbursed by workers’ compensation or the state group insurance program.

The agency may use appropriated funds to pay for a medical test or procedure on an employee required by federal or state law or regulation, if the test or procedure is required as a result of the employee’s job assignment or when considered necessary because of potential or existing litigation.
