Handbook Revision, January 2, 2019
This revision of the Statewide Intake Policy and Procedures Handbook was published on January 2, 2019. Summaries of new or revised items are provided below.
Out-of-State Reports (PATS 11367)
This policy revision clarifies that when a caseworker from another state’s protective service agency requests a courtesy interview, SWI processes it as a CRSR, not as an intake for Texas CPS. This revision also includes updates to sections about what SWI does when the abuse or neglect occurred out of state, the child lives out of state or is an unaccompanied alien child (UAC), or the alleged perpetrator lives out of state.
