Under Texas law, the controlling health authority, Dallas County Health in this case, is legally required to inform in writing the individuals subject to a public health control order.

Their signatures were likely required for informed consent because the local health authority will be administering medical treatment/tests and because they are subject to prosecution for violating the order. (Kind of like when an officer has you sign a speeding ticket. You make an acknowledgment by your signature.)

And what would the deputies do if the individuals refused to sign the papers - arrest them? </rhetorical question >
