Section 707.507 - What notification requirements apply to an investigation of a person that also has placement of child(ren) in the managing conservatorship of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) or is a DFPS foster or adoptive home?
Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) If there is a reason-to-believe finding of abuse or neglect of a child that is not in the managing conservatorship of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and the home also has children that are in DFPS's managing conservatorship, we must notify:
(b) If a law enforcement investigation of a report of abuse or neglect involving a child in a DFPS foster or pre-consummated adoptive home results in criminal indictment of either of the foster or adoptive parents, DFPS will close the home unless the regional director, in consultation with a Child Protective Services State Office Director, determines that there is not a continuing risk of substantial harm to children placed there and the indicted perpetrator is out of the home.
