A:
In dealing with Child Protective Services (CPS) in Texas, timely and accurate documentation is crucial, especially in matters as sensitive as child custody. If you have been given blank paperwork from CPS for over a year, this is not a standard procedure and may indicate an oversight or delay that needs addressing.
CPS should provide you with the necessary paperwork, filled out with the relevant information pertaining to your case. This documentation is essential for tracking the progress of your case, understanding the decisions made by CPS, and knowing what steps you need to take next.
If you have not already done so, you should contact your local CPS office to inquire about the delay and request that the appropriate paperwork be completed and provided to you. Keep a record of all your communications with CPS regarding this issue.
If you continue to face difficulties or if you feel that your rights or the rights of your child are being compromised, it might be beneficial to seek legal assistance. An attorney experienced in family law and child custody issues can provide guidance and representation, ensuring that your concerns are properly addressed and your rights are protected.
