If a child and a caregiver in an interstate placement in Texas move to another county in Texas during the supervisory period of an Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) case, and the other state does not notify the Texas Interstate Compact Office (TICO):

  •   the caseworker supervising the placement must send written notice of the move to TICO and the new region’s regional ICPC coordinator [sic, intranet link]External Link, within 24 hours of becoming aware of the move;

  •   the supervisor must reassign the ICPC case to a courtesy supervision caseworker in the new area within two days of receiving notification.

The newly assigned caseworker must begin supervising the placement immediately upon receiving notification. The caseworker must conduct a face-to-face supervision within seven days of notice being notified.

See 6314 Services to Children and Parents Across Regional Lines for policy regarding ongoing courtesy supervision.

When a licensed foster family home moves to new address, the DFPS Child Care Licensing (CCL) Division must renew the home’s license. The foster family itself, however, is responsible for notifying CCL of the move.

See 7624.2 If Foster Families Move Out-of-State.
