All but one of the 31 Texas senators have signed a letter calling for an investigation into the terminated contract between the state and Accenture, the company contracted to process child health insurance and other social services paperwork for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

The contract was ended this week after complaints that thousands of enrollees were prevented from receiving benefits for which they did qualify.

Led by Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville,  the lawmakers want Inspector General Brian Flood, whose office is within the commission, to report on tax dollars spent on the failed effort Deuell said he also will be asking the state auditor to investigate.
