I'm not sure about Texas, but in Minnesota, I'm required to have a signed form from the parents (but not the doctor) permitting me to administer sunscreen and/or insect repellent and/or diapering ointment. I leave it up to the parents if they want to use a specific brand (of sunscreen, bug repellent or diaper ointment) or if they want me to use what I have on hand. I do warn parents it may vary depending on what's on sale.
