FAQ
CPS in Texas cannot remove a child from the home without a court order, unless there's an immediate danger. They also cannot force parents to take certain actions without a court's directive. What happens if you ignore CPS in Texas? Ignoring CPS can lead to a court case and potential legal consequences.
You may refuse. CPS can ask a judge to make you let them talk to your child or they may, if the allegations are serious enough, remove your child. If you refuse, be aware that the school can consent to an interview.
Texas law mandates CPS to investigate child welfare reports and take necessary actions to ensure a minor's safety and well-being. This examination includes working closely with law enforcement and the court system to intervene when children are at risk of harm.
Ignoring or refusing to cooperate with CPS can lead to serious legal consequences. These may include fines, probation, or in more severe cases, the loss of child custody. Understanding the severity of these legal ramifications is critical for informed decision-making when dealing with CPS.

State law allows all these steps, so your cooperation is important. If you do not cooperate, CPI may request a court order to allow the investigation to move forward. CPI may also refer you to services. These services should be used to help address any safety issues or concerns found during the investigation.
