Relating to the use of parental child safety placements.

HB 707 requires the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to use "parental child safety placements" in all cases where appropriate, overriding other laws. If DFPS decides this placement isn't suitable, it must document the reasons in writing and notify the child's state representative and senator. This bill directly affects children in foster care cases, DFPS decision-making, and state legislators who receive notifications. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025, with no additional funding or program changes specified.
