At this time, the Texas Funeral Service Commission is not accepting any more requests for decedent donors from out-of-state entities. As a result of the transfer of duties and responsibilities from the Anatomical Board of the State of Texas, the Commission is in the process of establishing procedures for the receipt, use, and transfer of decedent donors for the advancement of medical or forensic science. In so doing, the Commission is exploring every facet to ensure proper procedures and policies are in place. If you have already submitted an application to the Commission, please contact our office regarding your application. Any questions may be directed to 512.936.2474 or by email to anatomical@tfsc.texas.gov.
