TX :: Child Protective Services Handbook :: 6500 Family Reunification :: 6571 Tasks Required before Dismissal

Before recommending that the court dismiss DFPS conservatorship, the caseworker completes a Safety Assessment tool on the home. The completed Safety Assessment tool requires the supervisor’s approval.

When the court dismisses DFPS as conservator, CPS does the following:

 •  Updates the Legal Status in IMPACT within 24 hours.

 •  Tells eligibility staff about the dismissal within seven days.

 •  Enters an end date for the child’s placement in IMPACT with a reason for removing the child that is consistent with the reason for closing the case.
