The caseworker must obtain written approval from the court or the court’s designee before:

• placing the child out of state; or

• returning the child to the family.

If the court gives oral approval but declines to give written approval for either of the actions above, the caseworker must advise the court in writing of his or her understanding that the court has given approval.

DFPS Rules, 40 TAC §700.1106

If the caseworker is unsure about how to advise the court, the caseworker must consult with the attorney representing DFPS.
