Types of Placements

Under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), agencies in other states can request a home study for any of the following types of caregivers in Texas:

  •   Parents that have been found to be unfit (See 4522 Accepting Requests From Other States to Place With a Non-Custodial Parent Living in Texas)

  •   Relatives

  •   Foster families

  •   Adoptive families

  •   Licensed residential-care facilities

Working Under the ICPC

The Texas Interstate Compact Office (TICO) must authorize every ICPC placement with a Texas caregiver.
