Which of the following is NOT permissible under Texas law regarding the disclosure of medical care information?

Sharing information with a new veterinarian without permission is not permissible under Texas law as it violates the confidentiality that is expected in the veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Veterinary technicians and veterinarians are bound by ethical and legal standards that protect the privacy of animal owners and their pets regarding medical information. This confidentiality can generally only be waived under specific circumstances, such as with the owner’s explicit consent or when there are legal or public health obligations.

On the other hand, discussing the treatment with the owner's family, providing information to a court when legally required, and disclosing information for public health safety concerns are all acceptable under Texas law. These actions are typically considered necessary or legally mandated exceptions to maintain transparency where ethical or legal obligations dictate such disclosure. For instance, protecting the health of the public or complying with a court's directives takes precedence over personal confidentiality in specific situations.
