Texas BVS Form — Information on Suit Affecting the Family Relationship (Excluding Adoptions) — Form VS-165 is a legal document used by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DIPS) to provide information about a suit that affects the family relationship, excluding adoptions. It is typically used in cases of divorce, child custody, and other family law matters. There are two types of Texas BVS Form — Information on Suit Affecting the Family Relationship (Excluding Adoptions) — Form VS-165: VS-165A and VS-165B. The VS-165A form is used by the Petitioner in the suit (the person filing the suit), and the VS-165B form is used by the Respondent (the person being sued). The form requests information about the parties involved, their relationship, any prior suits, and any other relevant information. It must be signed and notarized by both parties. The form is then submitted to the DIPS, which will provide a copy to the other party as well as the court.
