Relating to required reporting by the Department of Family and Protective Services regarding youth in the managing conservatorship of the department who attempt suicide.

SB 640 requires the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to include specific data on youth in its conservatorship who attempt suicide in its annual public report. The bill mandates that DFPS report the number of such suicide attempts, along with related statistics on mental health services and placements, as part of its existing annual transparency reporting. This data must be published electronically by August 1 each year for public access. The bill directly affects youth under DFPS conservatorship and the department itself, which must collect and disclose this information.
