This resource provides an overview of Supported Decision-Making Agreements (SDMAs), a legal tool that empowers adults with disabilities to make their own decisions with support from trusted individuals. Unlike guardianship, which transfers decision-making authority to someone else, SDMAs allow individuals to retain their rights and autonomy while receiving help in understanding information, exploring options, and communicating their choices. The guide explains who can use SDMAs, how they work, and the legal framework that supports them in Texas.
