The Texas Interstate Compact Office (TICO) will only process incoming parent home study requests on parents who have been found to be unfit. In order to prove unfitness, the other state must provide either:
• an order from a court in any state with jurisdiction over child custody matters that has made a finding that the parent is unfit; or
• an order, from the court in the other state that has jurisdiction over the current matter, that the ICPC be initiated on the parent.
