FAQ
Yes, it is indeed possible to sue Child Protective Services (CPS) in Texas, but the process can be challenging due to their governmental immunity. Essentially, governmental immunity can make public departments like CPS somewhat shielded from lawsuits. But this doesn't mean they are invincible.
In Texas, your rights with CPS encompass several key aspects. These rights encompass the ability to hire an attorney, stay informed about the case, actively participate in court hearings, and collaborate with CPS while comprehending your responsibilities.
When CPS receives a report of suspected child abuse or neglect, they are authorized to investigate the claims. This can involve visiting the child's home, interviewing the child, parents, and other household members, and reviewing relevant documents like medical records and school reports.
The short answer is no. CPS cases and Juvenile dependency cases are not open to the public in California. This is because of the confidential nature of the proceedings.
The reporting individual's identity will be confidential unless they choose to tell you.
The average length of an investigation is 45 days, but this can vary depending on the situation. During the investigation, CPI must determine if: Your child is safe. Your child was abused or neglected.
Unfortunately, unless your civil rights are violated, you likely won't have any legal claim against Child Protective Services stemming from the agency's, or its representatives', routine actions. So, you likely won't be able to sue for emotional distress.
The reporting individual's identity will be confidential unless they choose to tell you. However, there are steps you can take to help your CPS caseworker close your case fast. The bottom line is to cooperate with CPS and show that you have nothing to hide.
Both Texas and California are switching to a system of “confidential reporting” which requires CPS screeners to ask all callers for information such as their name and phone number. These agencies, in turn, will keep the callers' identity confidential.
