While I can't provide specific case citations, I can tell you that in Texas:
- CPS must have some evidence to take action, not just anonymous allegations.
- CPS cases require a higher standard of proof in court.
- If CPS can't meet this standard, they may lose the case.
What is the standard
The standard for CPS cases in Texas is "preponderance of the evidence." This means CPS must prove that it's more likely than not that a child is at risk. It's a lower standard than "beyond a reasonable doubt," used in criminal cases.
