While there are 42 individual Medicaid programs in Texas, the best known programs are the ones that provide long term care benefits to qualified elders: nursing home Medicaid and Community Based Alternatives. To qualify for either program, a person must meet nationality and residence requirements, as well as defined income and resource (asset) limitations.
