Relating to the establishment of a task force to locate relatives and certain individuals and to the procedures for providing notice to certain individuals on placement of a child in the managing conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services.

HB 1460 creates a 15-member task force within Texas' Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to locate relatives and individuals with significant relationships to children placed in DFPS custody. The task force must identify these individuals within 24 hours of a child's placement and locate them within 72 hours of a custody lawsuit filing, using methods like gathering information from parents, relatives, and the child (age-appropriately). This bill directly affects children entering DFPS custody, their relatives, and individuals with established relationships to those children, while requiring DFPS to follow specific procedures for notification and locating these individuals. The task force includes members from law enforcement, the Attorney General's office, and specialized investigators with experience working with children.
