Texas Dept of Family and Protective Services and Texas CPS Organization

The Title IV-B  of the Social Security Act authorizes the federal government to extend millions of dollars to state public welfare agencies that provide child welfare services.  Texas receives the  funds through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).  Inorder to receive the fiscal allotment through Title IV-B and under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), DFPS was required to file a plan. Part of the plan includes an organizational chart of Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and Child Protectives Services.

In this installment of understanding the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services agency, we are providing their organizational charts.  If you would like to know how DFPS and CPS are organized for Texas please see the below link.
