In Texas there are various laws on when you are required to decline one and when it is not necessary. We went through this when my Pawpaw died of a heart attack in a hotel. The county wanted a document showing he had been under the supervision of a cardiologist before transferring his body because he did not die at home, in a hospital or accident.
