Texas Legislature passed HB 2038 which Governor Perry signed
into law during the summer 2011. HB 2038 mandates that each school district
have a concussion oversight team which designs and implements the protocol for
the diagnosis, treatment, and return to play of any student athlete who
sustains a concussion. The concussion oversight team for De Leon ISD that
designed the protocol listed later on this page is comprised of Brad Bettis,
P.T., Howard Dickey, M.D., Brandon Gilmore, D.O., and Peter Fagan M.D.
