Protective Proceedings

The common situation is that someone will make a complaint to the department about possible harm to a boy or girl, and subsequently the Department of Family Protective Services (DFPS) will investigate the situation. After that, the situation becomes a bit more complex. If the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is investigating you, it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible. Sometimes, it is just a routine check in response to a misinformed phone call; however, in some situations, the Department can and will remove children from your home.

If the Department has already removed children from your home, it is even more vital that you consult with an attorney who will represent YOU. These proceedings can become complicated, and although many times the removal of children from the home is temporary, sometimes it is not. It is important as a parent (or other relative) to understand exactly what is going on with the process, and what you need to do to get your children back as soon as possible. I can help explain the process to you as it goes along, and give you the best chance possible of resolving the situation quickly and in your favor.
