Traumatic Brain Injury Card

[Guest guest]

Jeff,

It was the Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Project. The sample card that I have

lists two sites for additional information. One is the Brain Injury Association

of Texas (www.biatx.org) (phone: 1-). The other is the Texas

Traumatic Brain Injury Advisory Council (www.tdh.state.tx.us/braininjury)

(phone: , ext 3069). That last web site address says TDH instead of

DSHS, so you can see that my information is several years old. Maybe it will

get you started in the right direction, though.
