Interesting statement in your link. Seems this isn't just a Texas issue but rather other states do the same.

Government taking newborn DNA samples

quote......
The issue of retaining newborn screening samples is not unique to Texas. Other states are dealing with the same issues. Balancing privacy issues with what is in the best interest of the public is a fine line. The federal government has invested millions in regional and national newborn screening collaborations.

It’s the same case with the tuition issue. Most every state does the same...some by legislation....some by simply not asking “status”.
