Not a perpetrator in the case. Asked me to take a drug test which I failed....what are they going to do?
A:
After a failed drug test, CPS may take a number of steps. These could include:
Developing a Safety Plan: CPS might create a plan with actions that you need to follow to ensure your child's safety. This could include things like drug treatment, counseling, or participation in other services.
Formal Court Proceedings: In more serious cases, or if CPS determines that a child is at immediate risk, they may initiate legal proceedings that could lead to changes in custody or visitation, or even termination of parental rights in some cases.
Placement of Children: If CPS determines the children are not safe in your home, they may arrange for them to stay with a relative or in foster care while you work to meet the conditions outlined in the safety plan.
The specific actions CPS takes can vary widely depending on the details of your situation. If you're dealing with a CPS investigation, it's critical to consult with a Texas family law attorney who can help guide you through the process and advocate for your rights and the best interests of your children.
