Executive Order

Designating Advocacy, Inc., to Administer the Client Assistance Program Created by Federal Public Law 98-221,
and Designating the Director of the Texas Rehabilitation Commission to Chair an Advisory Committee to the
Client Assistance Program.
WHEREAS, Public Law 98-221, the Rehabilitation Amendments of 1984, requires each state which received
a federal allotment for vocational rehabilitative services to have in place by October 1, 1984, a client assistance
program; and
WHEREAS, such client assistance programs are intended to serve an ombudsman function for the applicants
and clients of state vocational rehabilitation programs and to assure the rights and welfare of all rehabilitation
clients are safeguarded; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable that such client assistance programs be administered by an organization with experience
in successfully running this type of program and be closely associated with, but separate from, state agencies
charged with providing vocational rehabilitation services;
NOW THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as governor, after consultation with representatives of the dis-
abled community and review of the accomplishments of Advocacy, Inc., a nonprofit corporation associated with
the State Bar of Texas, in administering an ombudsman program for the disabled community, I hereby designate
Advocacy, Inc., as the Texas client assistance program to be established in compliance with Public Law 98-221.
I further designate the commissioner of the Texas Rehabilitation Commission to chair a project advisory com-
mittee which I will appoint to oversee and make recommendations for administration of the client assistance pro-
gram. This committee will be composed of program consumers and service providers.
I direct that in administering the client assistance program, Advocacy, Inc., shall make a good faith effort to
resolve every difference between a client and service provider without litigation.
I further direct Advocacy Inc., to submit an evaluation of the client assistance program with review and com-
ment by the Project Advisory Committee and to file a report regarding the program and its deficiencies and/or
accomplishments on or before September 1, 1985, and annually each year thereafter.
Issued in Austin, Texas, on August 2, 1984.
