Texas "COBRA" notices

If you are familiar with the Texas law that offers continuation of major medical benefits for 6 months (terminating employees), I'd appreciate your reply.
Our insurer provides two Election of Coverage forms--one for Federal COBRA w/standard 18-month period information, etc. I just received the Texas specific election form and it doesn't refer to COBRA at all. It's worded such that it appears the individual ONLY has 6 months of continuation rights--which is not the case 99% of the time.
How have other TX employers notified those losing coverage that they have both COBRA and Texas continuation rights? What is the timing of the notices--both at once or TX election at end of COBRA period?
Thanks in advance for any information.
