Texas providers who suspect or confirm a notifiable condition report it to the local or regional health department, and the Department of State Health Services' EPI-2 Infectious Disease Report is the general form for doing so. It also covers outbreaks, exotic diseases and unusual groups of illness of public health concern. A health department epidemiologist may contact the reporting provider to investigate further.
The health care provider who diagnoses or suspects the condition completes the whole form except the health department box, which records whether the case is confirmed, probable, suspected, dropped or a duplicate.

Infectious Disease Report Form
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.
