HB 1320 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to membership on county Child Welfare Boards in certain counties.

This bill amends Texas Family Code Section 264.005 to clarify membership rules for county child welfare boards. It specifies that in counties with populations under 500,000, up to one-third of board members may be residents of neighboring counties rather than the county itself. The change applies to all county child welfare boards established under state law. This adjustment provides flexibility for smaller counties in board composition while maintaining local representation requirements.
