The Aging Texas Well (ATW) Plan is submitted to the governor by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) as required by Executive Order RP 42.

This 2010-11 Plan is the response to the RP 42 mandate that DADS create and disseminate a comprehensive and effective working plan to identify and discuss aging policy issues, guide state government readiness and promote increased community preparedness for an aging Texas. RP 42 also mandates that DADS update the plan biennially and evaluate and report on its implementation.

The plan details the elements of the ATW initiative and establishes objectives within each of the key focus areas identified by RP 42 mandates. During the />2010-11 biennium, with guidance from the Aging Texas Well Advisory Committee (ATWAC), DADS will address the areas of focus outlined in RP 42.
