House Bill 1315 amends the Family Code to require an order appointing the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) as a child's managing conservator to provide for the continuation of the appointment of the guardian ad litem, attorney ad litem, or an attorney appointed to serve in the dual role for as long as the child remains in DFPS conservatorship. The order may also provide for the continuation of the appointment of both the attorney ad litem and the guardian ad litem for the child if both have been appointed, as long as the child remains in DFPS conservatorship.
