Under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), public agencies in other states can request a home study under ICPC with any of the following types of caregivers in Texas:
• Parents that have been found to be unfit (See 4522 Accepting Requests From Other States to Place With a Non-Custodial Parent Living in Texas)
• Relatives
• Foster families
• Adoptive families
• Licensed residential-care facilities
The Texas Interstate Compact Office (TICO) must authorize every ICPC placement with a Texas caregiver.
