Experienced Austin Family Law Attorney
Texas Child Protective Services (CPS) serves to protect children from abuse in the home and also provides
services to families and children in their homes. CPS is in charge of
foster care with the hope of helping kids make the transition into adulthood
and also places children in adoptive homes. In addition, CPS handles investigations
of abuse or neglect and can remove a child from your home if someone makes
a report against you.

How long does CPS have to investigate a Case in Texas?
In Texas, CPS normally completes the investigation in 30 days. Within this period, your investigator can determine if your child is safe or at risk of future abuse or neglect.
If your child is not safe, your investigator will determine if you need services to reduce the risk of abuse or neglect or if DFPS needs to remove a child form your care.
