Texas Disaster Volunteer Registry

Welcome to the Texas Disaster Volunteer Registry

Thanks for your interest in volunteering to serve Texas during this time of unprecedented challenge to our state and citizens. Licensed healthcare professionals and lay persons can register as COVID-19 volunteers to support the state’s public health and medical preparedness response.
This registration system collects basic information about you and your licensure* (if applicable). Upon registration, you’ll be connected to locally organized volunteer agencies.

*Please note: If you need to reactivate a medical or nursing license, contact the Texas Medical Board or Texas Board of Nursing for details, and please complete that process first, before you register to volunteer on this site.

If you want to activate your medical license as an out-of-state provider, visit the COVID-19 Disaster Licensing for Out-of-State Providers and please complete that process first, before you register to volunteer on this site.

About the Registry
The Texas Disaster Volunteer Registry is maintained by the Department of State Health Services. This registry is a secure database with readily available, verifiable information about each volunteer's identity, qualifications, training, and experience which can be matched to locally organized volunteer needs.

As a prospective volunteer, please keep in mind the following:

• When you register you will have the option to choose a group in your area with which to affiliate. If you need assistance during the registration process click on the "Contact Us" tab at the top of the page.

• If you are in an area that doesn't have a Medical Reserve Corps please click on the "Contact Us" tab at the top of the page. If you are not a resident of Texas please visit www.phe.gov and register to volunteer in your State.

• Your information will be kept secure and shared only with emergency management officials during a disaster response.

• As a volunteer, you have the right to say "yes" or "no" to any requests for your services.

• As a volunteer, you have the right to decide how far you are willing to travel and how long you are willing to serve.
