1. Nature of the service

Texas Healthcare Guide is an independent educational information website for general audiences. It publishes general-topic guidance about healthcare processes, such as patient portals, medical records, and appointment preparation. It does not provide medical care, medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or counseling, and it never establishes a professional or provider-patient relationship with any visitor.

2. No provider, agency, or portal affiliation

The site is not a healthcare provider, hospital, clinic, government agency, or patient portal. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Epic Systems Corporation, MyChart, or any healthcare organization or government body. All third-party names may be trademarks of their respective owners; they are referenced here only descriptively and educationally. Portal access and support belong exclusively to each participating healthcare organization and its own official website.

3. Educational information only: see the disclaimer

See our Medical Information Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these terms. In emergencies, call 911.
