Consent by a Non-parent The following individuals may consent to health-care treatment (other than immunization) of a minor when a parent/conservator cannot be contacted and that person has not given express notice to the contrary: A grandparent of the minor. An adult brother or sister of the minor.
State intervention on a medical decision for a minor may go further than just health care. When parents refuse necessary or life-saving care for their child, they could face serious legal consequences as well. States often refer to this as medical neglect and have laws against it.
A parent can sign an affidavit of voluntary relinquishment of parental rights if the parent agrees that a court should terminate his or her parental rights to a child. Note: A child must be at least 48 hours old before an affidavit of voluntary relinquishment of parental rights may be signed.
A parent can sign an “authorization agreement” form to give a nonparent the authority to care for and make decisions for a child. An authorization agreement lets a nonparent make decisions for a child without going to court.
Texas Family Code § 32.002 A consent form for a non-parent to give consent for health-care treatment must be: In writing. Signed by the person giving consent. Given to the doctor, hospital, or medical facility that administers the treatment.
If you prefer to write your own consent document, you may do so, but be sure to include all required elements of informed consent.
