House Bill 932 amends the Human Resources Code to require the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) to determine whether a child committed to TJJD has at any time been in foster care and requires the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to provide certain requested information concerning the child's foster care placement. The bill requires TJJD, DFPS, and local juvenile probation departments to create a method by which probation departments may access DFPS information relating to a child's foster care placement. TJJD is required to biennially report to the legislature certain statistical information concerning the children in the custody of TJJD who have at any time been in foster care.
