CCI Handbook Definitions of Terms (PATS 13579)
This revision removes terms that are inapplicable to investigation procedures and corrects references to appropriate sections of Texas Administrative Code (TAC) and Texas Family Code (TFC). It also simplifies definitions of abuse, neglect, and exploitation to refer directly to their legal definitions in TFC, which have been revised following the 87th Legislature, Regular Session, via HB 375, HB 567, and HB 1540.
