CPI 3.3 Abuse/Neglect Investigations - Findings by County and Region FY2016-FY2025

Child Protective Investigations (CPI) conducts either a traditional investigation or Alternative Response (AR). Traditional investigations and Alternative Response require caseworkers to assess safety and take needed actions to protect a child while assessing any risk of abuse or neglect in the foreseeable future. AR cases present a less adversarial more collaborative approach to working with families by allowing for family engagement along with other community supports to ensure child safety. AR differs from traditional investigations in that AR cases are Priority 2 cases involving victims who are age 6 or older, there is no substantiation of allegations, no entry of perpetrators into the Central Registry (a repository for reports of child abuse and neglect), and there is a heightened focus on guiding the family to plan for safety in a way that works for them and therefore sustains safety. Completed investigations only include those cases conducted as a traditional investigation that were not administratively closed or merged into another stage. Investigations may include more than one alleged victim. All allegations in a completed investigation are given one of the following dispositions: Reason to Believe (RTB) - defined in section 2281.2 of the CPS policy handbook Ruled Out (RO) - defined in section 2281.3 of CPS policy handbook Unable to Complete (UTC) - defined in section 2281.4 of CPS policy handbook Unable to Determine (UTD) - defined in section 2281.4 of CPS policy handbook If at least one allegation has an RTB disposition, the investigation is given an overall disposition of RTB. If there are no allegations with an RTB disposition but there is at least one allegation with a disposition of UTD, the investigation is given an overall disposition of UTD. This chart addresses Texas Family Code Section 264.017 subsection (c) and Texas Human Resource Code Section 40.0516, subsection (a)(1)(E).
CPI 3.2 Completed Investigations Initiated Timely by County FY2016-FY2025

Completed investigations only include those cases conducted as a traditional investigation that were not administratively closed or merged into another stage. An investigation can only be administratively closed if all allegations have a disposition of administrative closure. A completed investigation can include more than one alleged victim. Completed investigations do not include any Alternative Response cases. The response is timely if the date of initial or attempted contact is less than 24 hours from the date of intake for Priority 1. For Priority 2, the response is timely if the date of initial or attempted contact is less than 72 hours from the date of intake. A description of Alternative Response and how it differs from a traditional investigation and priority response times are in the CPS glossary. This chart addresses Texas Family Code Section 264.017 subsection (b)(6). Visit dfps.texas.gov for information on all DFPS programs
CPI 3.14 Outcomes for Investigations Closed Administratively FY2016-2025

This dashboard tracks six month and one-year outcomes for children who were in an investigation that was Administratively Closed and subsequently alleged as a victim in a new investigation. The six month period is calculated by following those children who were in an investigation that was administratively closed within the first six months of the fiscal year (FY) and counting forward six months to see if the same child is a designated victim in an abuse/neglect child protective investigation. For the one year outcome, those children who were in an investigation that was administratively closed in the prior FY are tracked for one year and reported in the next fiscal year. The outcomes reported in FY 2025 had a beginning cohort from FY 2024. This chart addresses Texas Human Resource Code Section 40.0516, subsection (a)(9)(A).
CPI 3.13 Completed Abuse/Neglect Investigations: Referred to Family Preservation FY2018-FY2025

Number of Child Protective Investigations referred to Family Preservation Services organized by final risk assigned to each family through safety and risk assessments. Data begins in 2018 due to changing Risk Assessments over time in the IMPACT application. This chart addresses Texas Human Resource Code Section 40.0516, subsection (a)(2).
CPI 3.12 Family Team Meetings FY2016-2025

A Family Team Meeting (FTM) is a family-centered rapid response meeting CPI uses to try and prevent a removal by engaging caregivers, parents and extended family and friends to address child safety concerns. An FTM is not limited to an investigation and can occur at any point or stage in which CPI or CPS is involved with a family. FOOTNOTES Race/Ethnicity data are that of the primary caregiver. More information at www.dfps.texas.gov
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.
CPI 3.10 Abuse/Neglect Investigations - Perpetrators by County, Region, Sex, Relation to Victim FY2016-FY2025

This chart counts perpetrators in completed investigations. Completed investigations only include those cases conducted as a traditional investigation that were not administratively closed or merged into another stage. An investigation can only be administratively closed if all allegations have a disposition of administrative closure. A completed investigation can include more than one alleged victim. Completed investigations do not include any Alternative Response cases. A confirmed perpetrator on a completed investigation is an individual who is a confirmed perpetrator on at least one allegation with a disposition of reason to believe. An alleged perpetrator on a completed investigation is an individual where all the allegations on which they were an alleged perpetrator have a disposition of ruled out, unable to complete or unable to determine. A description of Alternative Response and how it differs from a traditional investigation and the definitions of the different dispositions in a traditional investigation are in the glossary. FOOTNOTES 1. Each victim may have more than one perpetrator in an investigation. 2. Each perpetrator may have more than one victim.
CPI 3.1 Completed Abuse/Neglect Investigations by County and Region FY2016-FY2025

ABOUT THIS CHART Child Protective Investigations (CPI) is authorized to investigate abuse and neglect allegedly committed by a person responsible for a child's care, custody or welfare and to protect abused and neglected children from further harm. This authorization is derived from the U.S. Social Securities Act, Texas Family Code Sec,264.017 subsection (c), Human Resources Code, Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, Indian Child Welfare Act and the Adam Walsh Act. CPI conducts either a traditional investigation or Alternative Response (AR). Traditional investigations and AR require caseworkers to assess safety and take needed actions to protect a child while assessing any risk of abuse or neglect in the foreseeable future. AR cases present a less adversarial more collaborative approach to working with families by allowing for family engagement along with other community supports to ensure child safety. AR differs from traditional investigations in that AR cases are Priority 2 cases involving victims who are age 6 or older, there is no substantiation of allegations, no entry of perpetrators into the Central Registry (a repository for reports of child abuse and neglect), and there is a heightened focus on guiding the family to plan for safety in a way that works for them. Completed investigations only include those cases conducted as a traditional investigation that were not administratively closed or merged into another stage. An investigation can only be administratively closed if all allegations have a disposition of administrative closure. A completed investigation can include more than one alleged victim. Completed investigations do not include any Alternative Response cases. FOOTNOTES An investigation represents a report of abuse or neglect and can involve multiple children. The data on completed investigations does not include investigative stages that were administratively closed or merged into another investigation. All completed investigations have a case disposition and a risk finding.
CPI 2.1 Abuse, Neglect Intakes - Screening And Priority FY2016-FY2025

CPI Intakes: Priority, Screening and Assignment To establish timeframes for investigations, each report of child abuse and neglect is assigned a priority: Priority I - Intake reports that concern children who appear to face an immediate risk of abuse or neglect that could result in death or serious harm. CPI must initiate the investigation within 24 hours of receiving a Priority I report. Priority II - All reports of abuse or neglect that are not assigned as Priority I are assigned as Priority II. These are reports that contain allegations of abuse or neglect in which there does not appear to be an immediate threat of serious harm or death. A subset of these reports are sent down the Alternative Response (AR)* pathway. Those reports not sent to AR continue as a traditional investigation. CPI must initiate these investigations within 72 hours of receiving a Priority II report. *In November 2014, CPI implemented Alternative Response (AR) which is a different way to respond to reports of abuse/neglect. AR allows for a more flexible, family engaging approach while still focusing on the safety of the children. AR cases differ from traditional investigations cases in that there will be no substantiation of allegations, no entry of perpetrators into the Central Registry (a repository for reports of child abuse and neglect), and there will be a heightened focus on guiding the family to plan for safety in a way that works for them and therefore sustains the safety. This chart addresses Texas Family Code Section 264.017 subsection (b)(1).
CPI 1.1 Texas Child Population (ages 0-17) by County 2016-2025

As recommended by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to ensure consistency across all HHSC agencies, in 2012 DFPS adopted the HHSC methodology on how to categorize race and ethnicity. As a result, data broken down by race and ethnicity in 2012 and after is not directly comparable to race and ethnicity data in 2011 and before. The population totals may not match previously printed DFPS Data Books. 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 may cause some past counts, such as Abuse/Neglect Victims per 1,000 Texas Children, to be recalculated. Population Data Source - Population Estimates and Projections Program, Texas State Data Center, Office of the State Demographer and the Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio. Current population estimates and projections data as of December 2025. Visit dfps.texas.gov for information on all DFPS programs.
County Returns

See the attached PDF for a detailed description of each tax type. The Comptroller of Public Accounts is charged by statute, Tex. Gov’t Code § 403.0142, with reporting and posting the amounts of revenue remitted from each Texas municipality and county for taxes whose location information is available from tax returns. The revenue is presented by county only because specific cities could not be definitively determined from the report data. Returns submitted directly by local governments are open records and include their names and addresses. Due to confidentiality restrictions, amounts reported by businesses cannot be provided when less than four businesses report for a specific county. This data is posted quarterly, six months after the end of the quarterly data period to allow for collection actions when needed.
