APS 3.2 Investigations: Types of Abuse by Region with Demographics FY2016-2025

Types of Abuse, Neglect and Financial Exploitation - 
 
A single APS case can have more than one allegation.

Neglect is the failure to provide the protection, food, shelter, or care necessary to avoid emotional harm or physical injury.  The alleged perpetrator of the neglect may be the victim or the victim's caregiver.  There are three types of neglect allegations: Physical Neglect, Medical Neglect, and Mental Health Neglect.  

Validated Dispositions include Valid, Valid-No Fault, and Valid-reportable conduct. Not Validated allegation disposition includes Invalid, Unable to determine, Other, Merged in Error, and dispositions not entered.

Other - The allegation disposition Other is used when an investigation of the allegation was not completed (e.g. clients died or cases were misclassified).
 
Data for FY 2025 does not capture case closures Other since investigation of the allegation were not completed. 

See Glossary for definitions of physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional or verbal abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation.

The population totals do not match prior DFPS Data Books, printed or ontline. Past population estimates are adjusted based on the U.S. Census data as it becomes available. This is important to keep the data in line with current best practices, but will  cause some past counts, such as Abuse/Neglect Victims per 1,000 Texas Children, to be recalculated.

CCI 4.2 Completed Abuse/Neglect Residential Child Care Investigations (RCCI) FY2016-FY2025

ABOUT THIS CHART
This dashboard contains information about abuse or neglect investigations that were closed by Residential Child Care Investigations staff during the specified timeframe. If at least one allegation in an investigation is Reason to Believe, the overall disposition for the investigation is 'Reason to Believe' and validated. 

To see a count of specific allegations, as opposed to investigations as shown here, see the RCCI Types of Abuse dashboard in this section.

1.   Child Care Investigations (CCI), which is a part of CPI and includes Day Care Investigations (DCI) and Residential Child Care Investigations (RCCI), conduct investigations of abuse and neglect. After the investigation is complete, the investigation is assigned to Child Care Regulation (CCR) with HHSC, where the investigation is assessed for deficiencies of minimum standards. 

2.   Exemption requests are submitted to CCR to determine if their operation is subject to regulation. 

3.   The General Residential Operations (GROs) counts exclude Residential Treatment Centers (RTCs). Though RTCs are a “care type” of GRO, they are counted separately. 

4.   Agency Homes are excluded from these counts. They were included in some past printed Data Books. 

5. This dashboard addresses Texas Family Code Section. 264.017.(b)(1).

These centers and corridors allow people to reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances. Within them, the design and scale of buildings and the design and availability of parks and gathering spaces will welcome people of all ages and abilities. They will be walkable, bikable, and connected to one another, the rest of the city, and the region by roads, transit, bicycle routes and lanes, and trails. The activity centers and corridors included on this map identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Unlike more detailed small-area plan maps, the Growth Concept Map provides broad direction for future growth and is not parcel specific. Centers that are already established by existing small-area plans, such as those for East Riverside Drive or Highland Mall, are drawn to reflect those plans. Centers without small-area plans are simply shown with a circle, indicating scale and general location. Specifying boundaries for these centers may occur through small-area plans or general guidelines for implementing this plan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

CPI 3.11 Child Abuse/Neglect Investigations: Alleged and Confirmed Perpetrator Recidivism FY2016-FY2025

Recidivism is calculated as a percentage of all alleged perpetrators in abuse/neglect investigations closed without services who were a confirmed perpetrator within 12 months after the prior investigation was closed without services.  

Calculating this way, for example, the Fiscal Year 2019 rate reflects recidivism of alleged perpetrators in investigations closed without services in Fiscal Year 2018, the Fiscal Year 2018 rate reflects recidivism among alleged perpetrators in investigations closed without services in 2017, and so on.

APS 3.5 Investigations: Perpetrators by Relationship to Victim and Region FY2016-2025

Chapter 48, Title 2, of the Texas Human Resources Code (HRC) and Chapter 705 of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) authorizes APS to investigate abuse and financial exploitation of a person age 65 or older or an adult with a disability when the person responsible for the maltreatment is a: 
  •  caretaker;
  •  paid caretaker;
  •  family member; or 
  •  person who has an ongoing relationship with the alleged victim.  Examples include a personal friend, paramour, or roommate.
In the case of neglect, the perpetrator may also be the victim himself or herself.  This is called "Self-neglect".
In cases of family violence, a protective order can be obtained from a court that prohibits a member of a family or household from remaining in the household, and from contacting or coming near the victim. The purpose of the order is to prevent that person from committing further acts of family violence against the victim.
The statutes governing family violence protective orders are set forth in Texas Family Code Chapters 71-87. This order is only available when family violence has been committed by a family member, member of the household, or in some circumstances by a person the victim has dated.

Each victim may have more than one perpetrator in an investigation.
