You can also apply online through the SSA website or by phone at 1-800-772-1213.

DDS is the state agency that reviews your medical records and makes the initial decision on your claim. While you cannot apply directly through DDS, they are responsible for:
- Reviewing your medical documentation.
- Requesting additional medical exams if needed.
- Making recommendations to SSA about your eligibility.
Legal and Advocacy Organizations
If you want extra support, Texas has several nonprofit and legal organizations that assist with disability benefits, including:
