TICO bases its approval on DFPS’s recommendation regarding:

  •   the results of the home screening;

  •   the determination of whether to place the child;

  •   the status of the DFPS Child Care Licensing Division’s licensure of the family as a foster, adoptive, or dual license family; and

  •   any other pertinent information provided by the other state.

If more information is needed, TICO must request it from the party that can provide it.

TICO approves a placement if:

  •   the caregiver appears able to provide the child with a suitable home and appropriate care; and

  •   the child remains in the legal jurisdiction of the other state.
