From the Advocates at GRADE: Texas Sunset Advisory Commission

The Texas Sunset Advisory Commission (the "Sunset Commission") is putting DFPS, APS, CPS and DADS under a microscope, this could result with huge policy and regulatory changes. We urge the general public with issues regarding these agencies (Department of Family Protective Service (DFPS), Department of Aging Disability (DADS), Adult Protective Service (APS), Child Protective Service (CPS)) to contact the Sunset Advisory at (512) 463-1300\

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT SUNSET?
The Commission seeks public input on every agency under Sunset review and recommends actions on each agency to the full Legislature. The Sunset review of most agencies occur every 12 years, and any negative outcome could have significant long-term impact. Please voice your concerns with the Sunset for these agencies Department of Family Protective Service (DFPS), Department of Aging Disability (DADS), Adult Protective Service (APS) and Child Protective Service (CPS).

It is imperative to contact the commission by May 15 as well as participating in the public hearings June 24 to June 25, 2014 (Tentative)
