CPS (formally Texas Department of Family and Protective Services)
In some situations, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (also known as CPS) may become involved with your family. When abuse or neglect of a child is alleged, Texas
Law requires the allegations to be investigated. CPS may seek to remove your children from your home and place them in foster care or with a relative. If CPS obtains a court order allowing them to remove your children from your home, the parents of the children will be named as parties in a lawsuit filed by the government.
The ultimate result in these cases will be that you will either get your children returned to you or your rights to your children will be restricted or terminated. Since the stakes in CPS cases are high, it is important that you seek legal representation and that you act quickly.
