  • IN 1999, TEXAS BECAME THE FIRST STATE TO PASS THE BABY MOSES LAWALLOWING A WOMAN TO LEGALLY AND SAFELY SURRENDER HER NEWBORN, UP TO 60 DAYS OLD, TO A PERSON AT A FIRE STATION OR EMERGENCY ROOM WITH NO RISK OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. FAST-FORWARD TO 2023, AND THAT LAW HAS EVOLVED. THE GOVERNOR HAS NOW SIGNED LEGISLATION ALLOWING NEWBORNS TO BE PLACED ANONYMOUSLY INTO A SECURED "BABY BOX" AT DESIGNATED LOCATIONS LIKE FIRE STATIONS OR HOSPITAL ERS. IN A TIME WHEN MANY PEOPLE AVOID FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT, THIS PROVIDES A DISCREET, SAFE OPTIONMUCH LIKE A NIGHT DEPOSIT BOX AT A BANK. WE'RE WORKING TO INSTALL THE FIRST BABY BOX IN A HOSPITAL IN CENTRAL TEXAS AT CORYELL HEALTH IN GATESVILLE.
