House Bill 567 Clarifies The Definition of Child Neglect Texas House Bill 567 became law on and goes into effect on September 1, 2021; it takes an important step in giving back some parental rights in CPS cases by clarifying the definition of child neglect.
CPS cannot enter your home without your permission or a court order, unless they believe the child is in immediate danger (Texas Family Code §261.303). If a caseworker asks to enter your home, you have the right to refuse. However, if CPS obtains a court order, you must allow them to enter.
CPS will conduct interviews with various individuals, including you, your ex-partner, and other family members, to gather information about the allegations. Although you have the right to refuse, cooperating with these interviews can be beneficial for both you and your children.
