Effective September 1,
juvenile courts will be required to
access the parents ability to provide
reimbursement for the cost of care
if a child is placed outside the
home. This policy is in response to
the authority of a new mandate by
the legislature as specified in the
Texas Family Code, Section 54.06(A).
Prior to September 1, judges
could access a parent; however,
with the passage of this Sunset
recommendation, a judge must
now examine the financial ability to
support the child if placed outside
the home.
