Cps Custody Hearing Guidelines

Summary

In Texas, CPS can take temporary custody if a child is in immediate danger, with reasons presented in court within 14 days. If CPS becomes a temporary managing conservator, they must create a service plan for reunification, reviewed within 60 days. The child does not typically need to be present at every court date, but their presence may be required for certain hearings. Consult an attorney for case-specific advice.
