26 Tex. Admin. Code § 301.663 - Disciplinary and Other Action
(a) Each local
authority and community center shall promulgate and implement policies and
procedures that meet the requirements of this section.
(b) Administrators and contractor CEOs must
take appropriate disciplinary or other action in confirmed cases of abuse,
neglect, and exploitation involving employees and agents.
(1) If the investigatory agency has a process
by which the administrator or contractor CEO can request a review of the
finding and a review is requested, then the outcome of the review is final and
forms the basis for disciplinary action.
(2) If the investigatory agency does not have
a process by which the administrator or contractor CEO can request a review of
the finding, the investigatory agency's finding is final and forms the basis
for disciplinary action.
(c) Nothing in this subchapter precludes an
administrator or contractor CEO from taking disciplinary or other appropriate
action pending investigation, including termination of employment. If
disciplinary or other action is taken before the investigation is complete,
then the executive director or CEO shall notify the investigator of such action
and the investigation continues.
(d) Administrators and contractor CEOs shall
ensure that disciplinary or other appropriate action, including seeking
criminal prosecution as appropriate, is taken when an employee or agent fails
to make reports immediately without sufficient justification or an employee or
agent is found to have made a false statement of fact during an
investigation.
