What Are Advance Directives?
Advance directives are legal documents that let you communicate your healthcare decisions in advance, in case you become incapacitated. In Texas, these typically include:

States whether you want life-sustaining treatments if you’re diagnosed with a terminal or irreversible condition and can’t make decisions yourself. - Medical Power of Attorney
Appoints someone you trust to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to speak for yourself.
