Fax Your Texas Benefits Paperwork
The fax line each Texas agency publishes for Medicaid and CHIP, SNAP, unemployment, state leave benefits, and state tax, with what that office asks you to put on every page.
10 pages free every month. No credit card.
Where to fax it
2 of the 4 Texas agencies below publish a fax line for their documents, and 2 publish only lines for a particular form or an appeal. Call the number in the row before you send.
The office asks for your case number on every page. Put it on every page you send, and keep the fax receipt. An office that cannot match a page to a case has to set it aside, and the receipt is what proves you sent it before the deadline.
Call before you send. Agency fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the number and whether that office is the one holding your case.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission asks for the case number on everything sent in, which is what ties a faxed page to a Medicaid or CHIP case.
Senders often have trouble getting through on this line. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also takes the same Medicaid and CHIP documents through a Your Texas Benefits account or the Your Texas Benefits mobile app. Open it
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission asks for the case number on everything sent in, and asks that a letter written by someone else carry that person's name, address, phone number, the date, and a signature.
Senders often have trouble getting through on this line. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also takes the same SNAP and TANF documents through a Your Texas Benefits account or the Your Texas Benefits mobile app. Open it
A written appeal to the Texas Workforce Commission should carry the claimant's name, Social Security number, current address, the date TWC mailed the Determination Notice, a copy of that notice where possible, and any dates the claimant cannot attend a hearing.

What the fax costs on FaxTerra
This is what FaxTerra charges to send it. It is not a fee the office charges.
Every FaxTerra account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A renewal or verification packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second packet in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a FaxTerra Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
Questions
What do I put on every page I fax to a Texas agency?
Your case or client number, your name, and your date of birth, unless the row below says the office asks for something else. A page that arrives without a case number has to be matched by hand, which is the slowest path through any agency.
Can I fax a Texas agency without a fax machine?
Yes. Upload the pages from your phone or computer, enter the office's fax number, and send. The agency receives it as a fax. Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one.
What if the fax line does not answer?
Call the number in that office's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed or whether it wants the document another way.
Is this an official Texas site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Texas and the office you are writing to set the rules and decide your case; every number and requirement here is linked to the agency's own page under official sources.
