Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas
Hospitals & visitors
Been trying to get a definitive answer on this for years. My husband spent 108 days in a hospital that is partially funded with public money. I was never allowed to stay overnight, never allowed during 6:30-7:30 pm or allowed in before 11 am. I was constantly separated from him for procedures or any reason they wanted to throw me out. This was traumatizing and violating to both of us. This is a serious inquiry and I really need a definitive answer, do Texas hospitals have any authority to regulate visitors? (other than the obvious...threatening, disruptive, etc) but just in general, did I have any constitutional right to be with my husband, did he have any constitutional right to keep me at his side?

Re: Hospitals & visitors
The hospital may make and enforce any legitimate rules and regulations it deems reasonable. I doubt you even had much of a basis to complain at the time, let alone now.
