DONATE LIFE TEXAS
Donate Life Texas is the nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Texans safely and securely document their donation decisions, and is the only official tissue, eye and organ donor registry in the state.
Established by the 79th Texas Legislature in 2005, the Glenda Dawson Donate Life Texas Registry allows Texans to document their decision to save and heal lives through donation after death.
In addition to managing the registry, we’re dedicated to being a unifying voice for donation in the state, providing public education and outreach.
As part of the national Donate Life America registry network, Texas organ and tissue recovery organizations use the registry to confirm donor registration status when a person dies. This ensures a donor’s decision is available to the right people at the right time to save and heal lives.
We partner with 17 recovery agencies in the state, including the three organ procurement organizations (OPOs) serving Texas. These organizations routinely check the Glenda Dawson Donate Life Texas Registry to determine a person’s intent for donation. As a nonprofit organization, Donate Life Texas is governed by a Board of Directors, made up of the chief executive officers from each of the three Texas organ procurement organizations (OPOs) – LifeGift, Southwest Transplant Alliance and Texas Organ Sharing Alliance.
Donate Life Texas partners with both the Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) Driver License division and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to allow Texans to join the donor registry when applying for or renewing their driver’s license, state ID or vehicle registration
