HCR 62 requests the creation of a joint interim committee to study suicide prevention in Texas, including within Texas correctional institutions. The resolution cites a 37% increase in suicide rates in Texas from 2000 to 2022 and emphasizes that suicide is now the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S. The resolution highlights gaps in mental health services, suicide prevention training for healthcare professionals, and crisis intervention resources. The committee would analyze effective prevention strategies and present its findings and recommendations to the 90th Texas Legislature before January 2027.
