Ok, what does this have to do with the Texas Family Code?
The House Bills amended Texas Family Code section 262.1095, and details the Department's duty to provide information of the child's involvement in care to certain relatives and persons involved with the family including:
- All paternal and maternal relatives of the child (including adult relatives of the legal or alleged father) who are related to the child within the 4th degree of consanguinity.
- All adult grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and siblings of the child's legal father or alleged father, if DFPS has a reasonable basis to believe the alleged father is the child's biological father.
- All legal custodians of the child's minor siblings.
- All adult siblings of the child.
- Everyone designated by the parent as a potential caregiver from the Child Caregiver Resource Form 2625
- Any other relative or fictive kin the caseworker determines should receive notice.
