40 Tex. Admin. Code § 705.903 - Can DFPS apply for protective orders?
When APS staff validates an allegation that an alleged victim is a victim of family violence as specified in Texas Family Code, § 71.004, DFPS may apply for a protective order to protect the victim. Before DFPS files the protective order, APS staff contacts the victim and a non-abusive adult member of the household, if available:
(1) to notify
them of DFPS's intent to file a protective order; and
(2) to request assistance in developing a
safety plan for the protection of the victim and any non-abusive household
members.
