Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: City of Port Lavaca

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Lavaca Bay and is located along the Harbor of Refuge peninsula and southern shoreline, Port Lavaca, Calhoun County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 28.5918092, -96.6144723

Project Description: To provide shoreline protection to the Harbor of Refuge in Port Lavaca that reduces wave energy and enhance aquatic resources. The applicant requests authorization to construct a living shoreline consisting of six rock breakwater units, a reef breakwater, a concrete block mattress (ACBM) slope protection, and two beneficial use creation areas.

The six rock breakwaters total footprint will be 4,840-foot-long by 43-foot-wide at the ends and requires 23,100 cubic yards (CY) of rock stone material to be discharged into 4.4 acres nearshore along the Harbor of Refuge shoreline. The rock breakwaters will be constructed from the water via the temporary access channel. Ten aids to navigation will also be installed 20 feet seaward from the breakwaters and in 500-foot spacing.

Marine access for construction of the rock and reef breakwaters requires mechanically dredging approximately 76,800 CY and temporarily placing into 23.4-acre footprint below the high tide line (HTL) seaward of the temporary access channel. The 16.7-acre temporary access channel width will range from 55 feet to 165 feet along the seaward length of the rock breakwaters at a depth of -5 NAVD88. After project completion, the dredged material will be returned to its original location.

The reef breakwater will be 640-foot-long by 16-foot-wide at the ends and requires 640 CY of bedding stone, and geotextile material to be discharged into 0.2 acres below HTL. The reef breakwater will be located along the southern entrance of Harbor of Refuge.

The ACBM slope protection will be 3,300-foot-long by 34-foot-wide and requires 410 CY of concrete and geotextile material to be discharged into 0.2 acres below. The ACBM will be located immediately adjacent to the reef breakwater.

The two beneficial use (BU) creation areas will be located along the north and south shoreline near the entrance of Harbor of Refuge. The northern BU creation area will require 43,900 CY of dredged material to be discharged into an 8.9-acre footprint and the southern BU creation will require 42,900 CY of dredged material into a 10-acre footprint. The BU dredged material will come from other projects outside of the scope of this proposed project.

The applicant has provided the following explanation why compensatory mitigation should not be required: No compensatory mitigation is proposed due to all permanent impacts to special aquatic sites have been avoided through design modifications and buffer zones.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2025-00420. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 26-1100-F1

Applicant: Jefferson Terminal South LLC

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Neches River and is located in the Neches River between Channel Markers 630+00 and 640+00 approximately 0.88-mile northeast of the intersection of North Twin City Highway and DuPont Road, Nederland, Jefferson County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 30.0231081, -94.0304751

Project Description: The purpose of the proposed development is to construct two new bulk liquids dock terminals to expand on existing industrial infrastructure and facilitate the safe handling and transportation of bulk liquid cargoes. Dock 3 would be capable of transferring bulk liquid products to vessels of up to Suezmax size (950-foot by 165- foot). Dock 2 would be capable of transferring bulk liquid products to vessels of up to Panamax size (607-foot by 106-foot). The dock platforms would be sized to accommodate multiple product lines ranging from 12 to 24 inches to allow a flow rate of 20,000 barrels per hour.

The applicant requests authorization to permanently discharge fill material into 8.7 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM) and 3.37 acres of palustrine forested wetlands (PFO) to construct 2 new ship docks at their facility on the Neches River in Nederland, Texas. Dock 2 will consist of a 140-foot by 87-foot platform, an 18-foot-wide by 150-foot-long approachway, 23-foot-wide steel beam pile supported pipe racks, 6 breasting dolphins, and 3 barge monopiles. Approximately 398 cubic yards (CY) of concrete block material will be placed below the high tide line (HTL) of the Neches River along 175 linear feet of shoreline for concrete revetment. Dock 3 will consist of a 140-foot by 87-foot platform, an 18-foot-wide by 200-foot-long approachway, 44-foot-wide steel beam pile supported pipe racks, 6 breasting dolphins, 6 mooring dolphins, 4 barge monopiles, and a spill boom containment reel. Approximately 500 CY of concrete block material will be placed below the HTL of the Neches River along 1,650 linear feet of shoreline for concrete revetment. Approximately 1,162,127 CY of material will be dredged and/or excavated from the Neches River to reach a maximum depth of -50 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) at the dock berths. Dredge material will be placed into Dredge Material Placement Areas 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, or 26, as well as the Lower Neches Wildlife Management Area Nelda Stark Beneficial Use Site, permitted by Texas Parks and Wildlife SWG-2016-00565. The applicant also requests 10 years of maintenance dredging within all dredge areas authorized by Department of the Army Permit SWG-1998-01785.

The applicant offered the following compensatory mitigation plan to offset unavoidable functional loss to the aquatic environment: The applicant proposes to offset permanent impacts to 8.7 acres of PEM wetlands and 3.37 acres of PFO wetlands through the purchase of appropriate wetland mitigation credits from the Pineywoods Mitigation Bank (PMB). The project site and impacted wetlands are located within the secondary service area of the PMB and a 1.5x multiplier would be applied to the number of credits to be purchased. As such, the applicant is proposing to purchase a total of 0.21 Physical functional capacity units (FCUs), 1.8 Biological FCUs, and 2.09 Chemical FCUs for impacts to PFO wetlands, while 1.36 Physical FCUs, 4.9 Biological FCUs, and 5.63 FCUs would be purchased for impacts to PEM wetlands.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-1998-01785. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 26-1105-F1

Applicant: Port of Corpus Christi

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with the Corpus Christi Ship Channel (CCSC) and is located at the Southside Marine Center (SMC) at 1741 Navigation Boulevard, Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 27.817222, -97.453611

Project Description: The applicant requests authorization to modify the existing permit to support expanded emergency response capabilities at the SMC. The proposed activities include dredging, installation of new in-water structures, placement of fill, shoreline protection, and associated site improvements. All work would occur within the developed waterfront footprint along the CCSC but would expand the previously permitted dredge template. The installation of the proposed shoreline protection would result in approximately 0.06-acre of fill of unvegetated shoreline below the High Tide Line (HTL). The proposed new dredging would permanently impact 0.22-acre of unvegetated channel bottom outside of the authorized 3.2 acres area of impact.

The new dredging work would be conducted within an approximately 1.06-acre dredge template, of which approximately 0.22-acre extends beyond the limits of the existing dredge template. The 0.22-acre dredge template expansion would primarily consist of a 2.5H:1V slope into the slip basin. The channel bottom elevations average approximately -10.5 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) and a uniform dredge template to -14.0 feet MLLW +2 feet of allowable overdepth (-18.0 feet MLLW) with 2.5H:1V side slopes. The estimated dredge volume is approximately 1,900 cubic yards (CY) for the expanded template. Dredging would be conducted using hydraulic, mechanical, and/or silt-blading methodologies, with material placed at existing Dredge Material Placement Areas (DMPAs) and/or Beneficial Use Sites (BUSs). A smaller amount of dredged material may be placed in upland areas within the SMC site. Work may occur from land or barge-mounted equipment. Turbidity and erosion controls would be implemented during landside and waterside work. Maintenance dredging is currently authorized through December 31, 2030. This activity would be conducted using hydraulic, mechanical, and/or silt-blading methods, with dredged material placed in one or more identified DMPAs and/or BUSs. Changes to the existing permitted maintenance dredging is for the inclusion of the silt-blading methodology and the additional placement areas.

The project includes construction of a 157-foot by 32-foot reinforced boat slip and associated perimeter bulkhead to support vessel mooring and shoreline stability. The boat slip would be oriented northwest-southeast, allowing vessels to launch to the northwest and return to the ramp heading southeast. Dredging for the proposed boat slip falls within the dredging impacts as described above and within uplands. A new 330-linear-foot (LF) steel sheet pile bulkhead would be installed around the perimeter of the boat slip to stabilize the shoreline. The bulkhead alignment would connect to shoreline infrastructure and would be designed to achieve proper tie-in elevations, support navigational safety, and accommodate required scour protection.

Shoreline protection would consist of riprap or articulated concrete block (ACB) revetment placed along approximately 215 LF of shoreline adjacent to and south of the boat slip. The concrete material would be installed over a prepared and graded slope of approximately 2.5H:1V at an approximate thickness of 1.5 to 2 feet, resulting in the placement of approximately 404 CY of concrete material below the HTL. The riprap design features an upper anchor trench and a lower toe trench to secure the armor layer and prevent displacement due to wave action or scour. The ACB revetment system features an upland anchor trench to lock the upper edge of the articulating concrete block mattress in place. Both structures would be placed along the shoreline beginning at an elevation of approximately +8.0 feet MLLW and terminating no lower than -6.0 feet MLLW. The placement of the proposed 215 LF of shoreline protection structure would be in addition to the currently authorized 322 LF of riprap that is proposed to span from the eastern side of the boat ramp to the floating dock gangway access ramp. The proposed riprap would be placed at elevations between +5.0 feet MLLW and -2.0 feet MLLW, occupying a total of 0.06 acre below the HTL. The project would remove existing shoreline material. As part of the currently authorized shoreline stabilization work, approximately 0.083 acres of live oyster reef would be relocated. No new impacts on oysters are associated with this authorization request.

The applicant has provided the following explanation why compensatory mitigation should not be required: Compensatory mitigation is not proposed due to the disturbed nature of the area of impact and low quality of potential habitat.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2008-00486. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 26-1111-F1

Applicant: Kinder Morgan

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with the Sabine River. The project site is located underneath the Sabine River and throughout various wetlands, directly adjacent to the existing Golden Pass Export Facility, in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.756627, -93.921102

Project Description: The overall project purpose is to construct a natural gas pipeline from Jefferson County, Texas to Cameron Parish, Louisiana to better supply the new growth demand in the southwest Louisiana Liquid Natural Gas Corridor. The applicant requests authorization to horizontally directionally drill underneath the Sabine-Neches waterway approximately 5,243 linear feet shoreline to shoreline. The project will also permanently impact 1.902 acres of estuarine scrub-shrub, 1.25 acres of palustrine emergent, and 0.049 acres of palustrine scrub-shrub. Various temporary impacts to different wetland types are also listed for the project. The project will install approximately 3.05 miles of a 48- inch-diameter natural gas pipeline from Jefferson County, Texas to Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The remainder of the pipeline outside of the Sabine-Neches crossing (approximately 2.07 miles) will be installed via conventional trenching. Additionally, the project will construct an approximately 120' x 200' TAP Launcher Facility, including a new permanent access road and associated piping to clean and inspect the new pipeline.

Public Notice

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is submitting a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to amend the waiver application for the Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) waiver program authorized under §1915(c) of the Social Security Act. CMS has approved the CLASS waiver application through August 31, 2029. The proposed effective date for this amendment is September 1, 2026.

The amendment request proposes to make changes to Appendix C, E, and I of the waiver application to update Texas Administrative Code (TAC) references and clarify language throughout to align with existing TAC. Additional changes were made to the formal monitoring frequency for CLASS program providers and financial management services agencies (FMSAs) following a determination of acceptable compliance during an intermittent monitoring review. HHSC updated performance measure language to align with the updated monitoring frequency.

The request also proposes to amend Appendix I of the waiver application to clarify existing Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) policies and update language to match other waivers.

Appendix C

HHSC added the following language regarding intermittent monitoring reviews for services provided by CLASS providers (except for prescribed drugs) in the Frequency of Verification section of Appendix C:

"If the provider achieves an acceptable level of compliance during the intermittent monitoring, contracts staff will conduct the next formal monitoring within two years."

HHSC added the following language regarding FMSA intermittent monitoring for the following services delivered through the Consumer Directed Services Option: Respite, and Support Consultation in the Frequency of Verification section of Appendix C:

"If the FMSA achieves an acceptable level of compliance during the intermittent monitoring, contracts staff will conduct the next formal monitoring within three years".

HHSC updated the provider qualifications and Abuse Neglect and Exploitation reporting requirements in the Case Management service to align with TAC including the reference to the Department of Family and Protective Services website by removing that and updating it with the HHSC Online Texas Unified Licensure Information Portal.

In the respite service, HHSC clarified that the service cannot be provided at the same time as supported employment, employment assistance, and prevocational services to align with existing policies and the other service limitations.

In the prevocational service "limits on the amount, frequency, or duration" section, HHSC added "nursing" to the list of services that cannot be provided at the same time to align with policy. HHSC also clarified the service provider qualifications by adding "or guardian."

HHSC added clarifying language for provider qualifications in the residential habilitation service to align with existing Texas Administrative Code. HHSC clarified that the service provider can be a relative or guardian (instead of family member) if they are not the individual's spouse or the parent of an individual that is a minor child.

HHSC as applicable, in the respite service, HHSC replaced the term "HHSC" with "contracts staff" and replaced "family member" with "relative or guardian" to align with policy. HHSC also updated language to read "contracts staff conduct formal monitoring of" instead of "HHSC monitors.

HHSC added an additional "individual activity" in the behavioral support service definition to align with policy by adding a number four, "Collaborating with the person, Legally Authorized Representative (LAR), primary caregiver, or service provider to transition the services to a non- therapist, changing the role of the therapist to a supervisory role".

HHSC added clarifying language to the dietary service definition to align with policy regarding training and consulting with individual, family member or other people involved in their care and to include time spent collaborating with the person, LAR or primary caregiver or service provider to transition to a non-therapist.

HHSC added "nursing" to the list of services that cannot be provided at the same time as employment assistance to align with policy.

HHSC as applicable, updated the term "monitoring reviews" to "formal monitoring reviews". HHSC as applicable, replaced "Adverse Action Review Committee" with "contract manager".

Appendix E

HHSC added language in Oversight of FMS Entities section stating "Financial management services agencies may have up to 5 different CDS program contract types. CDS CLASS may not be pulled into the sample; therefore, a financial management services agency legal entity is monitored according to the frequency methodology but not each CDS CLASS contract is monitored."

Appendix I

HHSC as applicable, added language to clarify the frequency of "formal" and "intermittent" monitoring reviews for CLASS providers and FMSAs.

HHSC clarified language related to electronic visit verification (EVV) in I-1 "Financial Integrity" section to align with policy. HHSC replaced "EVV services" with "HCBS services requiring EVV", and "capture with "must electronically record".

HHSC as applicable, removed the term "on site" and replaced it with "monitoring" reviews.

Performance Measures

For performance measure C.a.2, C.a.3, C.b.4, C.c.1, and C.c.3, HHSC updated the sampling approach language for the boxed checked "other". The updated language reads as:

"Providers are selected for monitoring based on the contract execution date, exit date and compliance score of previous formal or intermittent monitoring, and expenditures".

For performance measure C.b.1, HHSC added at the end of the denominator "reviewed." so the denominator reads as, "Number of newly enrolled financial management services agencies reviewed."

For performance measure C.b.2, and I.a.2 HHSC updated the sampling approach language for the boxed checked "other". The updated language reads as:

"A max sample of 30 FMSA legal entities are selected for monitoring based on contract execution date, exit date and compliance score of previous formal/intermittent monitoring, and expenditures."

For performance measure C.c.2, HHSC updated the sampling approach from "100 percent Review" and checked the box in "other" and added the following language:

"A max sample of 30 FMSA legal entities are selected for monitoring based on contract execution date, exit date and compliance score of previous formal/intermittent monitoring, and expenditures."

Appendix Miscellaneous

HHSC updated references to the TAC changing references from Title 40 to Title 26 throughout the appendices. Rules of the former Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), which were in Title 40, have been transferred to Title 26.

HHSC, as applicable, replaced "term" with "execution".

Public Notice

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is submitting a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to amend the waiver application for the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) waiver program authorized under §1915(c) of the Social Security Act. CMS has approved the HCS waiver application through August 31, 2028. The proposed effective date for this amendment is September 1, 2026.

The amendment proposes changes to Appendices C, E, and I of the waiver application to update Texas Administrative Code (TAC) references and update the formal monitoring frequency for financial management service agencies (FMSA) following a determination of acceptable compliance during an intermittent monitoring review. HHSC updated performance measure language in Appendix C to align with the updated monitoring frequency.

The request also proposes to amend Appendix I of the waiver application to clarify existing Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) policies and update language to match other waivers.

Appendix C

HHSC, as applicable, updated the term "reviews" to "formal monitoring reviews".

HHSC also updated "on site and desk reviews" to "reviews".

HHSC added the following language regarding FMSA monitoring for the following services that are available through the consumer directed services (CDS) option: Respite, Support Consultation, Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy, Financial Management Services, Supported Employment, Employment Assistance, Nursing, and Supported Home Living in the Frequency of Verification section of Appendix C:

"HHSC verifies provider qualifications were met prior to service delivery during formal monitoring reviews, completed every three years at a minimum.

Each new financial management services agency that must be monitored according to HHSC policy, is monitored within the first 15 months of contract execution. Thereafter, contracts staff conduct formal monitoring of financial management services agencies at least every three years. Financial management services agencies are monitored more frequently if a need is indicated or if there is a complaint filed against the financial management services agency. As a result of reviews, contracts staff will recoup the financial management services agency monthly fees for service providers who were unqualified at the time they provided the service. Findings from monitoring reviews and complaint investigations may result in a corrective action plan and may go to the contract manager to determine whether actions should be taken against the financial management services agency, including referral hold, vendor hold, and involuntary contract termination.

Contracts staff must conduct intermittent monitoring for financial management services agencies that do not meet an acceptable compliance level during formal monitoring reviews. If the FMSA achieves an acceptable level of compliance during the intermittent monitoring, contracts staff will conduct the next formal monitoring within three years. Contracts staff respond to complaints received against a financial management services agency for failure to maintain provider qualifications. HHSC levies appropriate provider agreement actions and sanctions for failure to follow the provider agreement requirements based on the results of the monitoring activity."

In the Verification of Provider Qualifications, Frequency of Verification section of appendix C, HHSC added the following language for Employment Readiness and Supported Home Living for the consumer directed services (CDS) option to align with current TAC, "An individual employer and financial management services agency are both required by 26 TAC Chapter 264 CDS Option to verify that a service provider meets the qualifications required by the individual's program rules before being hired. A financial management services agency is required to obtain and retain documentation on file that a service provider continues to meet the qualifications required by the individual's program rules, policies, and manuals, and other state and federal regulations."

Appendix E

HHSC added language in the Oversight of FMS Entities section stating, "Financial management services agencies may have up to 5 different CDS program contract types. CDS HCS may not be pulled into the sample; therefore, a financial management services agency legal entity is monitored according to the frequency methodology but not each CDS HCS contract is monitored."

Appendix I

HHSC updated existing language regarding EVV requirements. HHSC added the following language that clarifies the EVV policies,

"In the HCS program, Personal Care Services requiring EVV are in-home individualized skills and socialization, in-home respite, supported home living - transportation and supported employment. Home Health Care Services requiring EVV in the HCS program, for a member who does not receive Residential Assistance (Host Home/Companion Care, Supervised Living, Residential Support Services), are any nursing service, occupational therapy and physical therapy service, when provided in the individual's residence.

A service provider or consumer directed services (CDS) employee must use an HHSC-approved clock in and clock out method to begin and end service delivery when providing HCBS services requiring EVV to an individual in the home or the community.

Three clock in and clock out methods are approved by HHSC: the Mobile Method, the Home Phone Landline method and the Alternative Device method. All clock in and clock out methods electronically record the type of service provided, the name of the individual to whom the service is provided, the date and times the provider began and ended the service delivery visit, the location, including the address, where the service is provided and the name of the person who provided the service. If a service provider or CDS employee fails to clock in or out of the EVV system or an HHSC-approved clock in or clock out method is not available, a program provider, FMSA, or CDS employer must manually enter an EVV visit into the EVV system."

HHSC updated the term "are monitored" to "receive a formal monitoring".

Performance Measures

HHSC revised performance measure C.b.2 to add the term "fiscal" to clarify the measure includes contract and fiscal monitoring instead of just "contract monitoring." HHSC revised the numerator to add the term "fiscal" to "contract monitoring." HHSC also removed the word "continually" from the measure. HHSC also revised the denominator to remove "using the CDS Program Tool".

The revised measure reads as, "C.b.2 Number and percent of monitored FMSA contracts that met contract and fiscal monitoring requirements, evidenced by an overall compliance score of at least 90%. N: Number of monitored FMSA contracts that met contract and fiscal monitoring requirements, evidenced by an overall compliance score of at least 90%. D: Number of FMSA contracts monitored." HHSC further revised the sampling approach to use term "execution date" and "exit date" instead of "effective" and "formal or intermittent monitoring" instead of "formal monitoring." HHSC also clarified that the maximum sample is 30 per FMSA legal entity.

HHSC removed performance measure C.b.3., "Number and percent of monitored FMSA contracts that continually met fiscal monitoring requirements, evidenced by an overall compliance score of at least 90%. N: Number of monitored FMSA contracts that continually met fiscal monitoring requirements, evidenced by an overall compliance score of at least 90%. D: Number of FMSA contracts monitored using the CDS-Tax Tool." This measure was removed since the monitoring will now be combined and C.b.2 was updated in this amendment to include the fiscal monitoring component.

HHSC replaced performance measure C.c.1 to "C.c.1 Number and percent of monitored financial management services agencies that completed all required training in accordance with the approved waiver. N: Number of financial management services agencies that completed all required training in accordance with the approved waiver. D: Number of financial management services agencies requiring training." instead of "Number and percent of newly enrolled providers meeting initial provider training requirements according to the approved waiver. N: Number of newly enrolled providers meeting initial provider training requirements according to the approved waiver. D: Number of newly enrolled providers that required initial training."

The sampling approach was revised to "Less than 100% Review" instead of "100% Review." HHSC added the following language under Other in Sampling Approach, "A max sample of 30 FMSA legal entities are selected for monitoring based on contract execution date, exit date and compliance score of previous formal/intermittent monitoring, and expenditures."

HHSC removed performance measure C.c.2, "Number and percent of newly enrolled FMSAs that attended all initial required training in accordance with the approved waiver. N: Number of newly enrolled FMSAs that attended all initial required training in accordance with the approved waiver. D: Number of newly enrolled FMSAs requiring initial training."

In Appendix C HHSC updated language in the Methods for Remediation section regarding the FMSA. HHSC updated the language "not have met" with "be out of substantial compliance with the". HHSC updated the term "Adverse Action Review Committee" to "contract manager". HHSC also updated "an Access database" with "The System of Contract Operation and Reporting".

In Appendix C Methods for Remediation section HHSC updated the actions that the contract managers may take.

HCS Program Overview

The HCS waiver provides services and supports to individuals with intellectual disabilities who live in their own homes, in the home of a family member, or another community setting such as a three-person or four-person residence operated by an HCS program provider. Services and supports are intended to enhance quality of life, functional independence, and health and well-being in continued community-based living and to supplement, rather than replace, existing informal or formal supports and resources.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "LOTERIA AZUL" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of $600 or more from the "LOTERIA AZUL" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Scratch Ticket Claim Period. All Scratch Ticket prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Scratch Ticket Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code §466.408. Any rights to a prize that is not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each Scratch Ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of Scratch Tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of Scratch Tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. A Scratch Ticket Game may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of a Scratch Ticket in the space designated, a Scratch Ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said Scratch Ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.
