Q: Do procedures even matter?
I have noted about 20 different violations by DFPS according to the Texas family code but nobody will do anything. I proved multiple times the investigator lied on the affidavits. I even have another CPI confirming he lied on it. Nobody will do anything. It's like they're all working together to keep us apart. Every document is either incomplete or just total lies. They didn't even notify me until 3 days after they talked to my kids. I was in the hospital at the time. Didn't record his talks with my kids. Didn't put date or time on removal. Didn't do something on everything. So why do we even have those rules? These people almost have more power than God.
A: Yes procedures matter. But the remedy for every procedural violation is not "you win." If a document is incomplete, the remedy may well be that you can require them to complete the document. If an investigator lies, you can present evidence of that lie, and that will likely undermine the credibility of the affiant with the judge or jury at trial.
