The screener must consult with and receive approval from the screener supervisor to close an intake when a principal child is in DFPS conservatorship.
Intakes involving children in DFPS conservatorship may only be closed as a PN when the incident:
- Involves allegations addressed entirely by a previous investigation. The closure code is Incident addressed in previous case.
- Is within the jurisdiction of another DFPS program. The closure code is Incident jurisdiction of other DFPS program.
- Falls under the jurisdiction of another Texas state agency or another state. The closure code is Incident responsibility of Other Agency/Out of State.
No other PN closure codes are used for intakes involving children in DFPS conservatorship.
