"but" is just a coordinating conjunction. The usage of "that" after it, solely depends on parallelism.
eg. Tony used to like Jessica, but he changed his mind.
Here, it is clear that putting a that after but would really ruin the sentence structure.
eg. Tony told Greg that he used to like Jessica, but that he changed his mind.
So the that here is allowing for parallelism. So look for previous instances of "that" to justify the presence of a "that" after but.
eg. The family members were informed that the patient had died, but they refused to believe the doctors.
Here if you use a "that" after but, it changes the meaning to indicate that the "The family members were informed that they refused to believe the doctors". So it all depends on sentence structure, parallelism and meaning.
I hope this helps!
