HB 3555 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the establishment of a donation registry by the Department of Family and Protective Services for providing personal items to children in the department's conservatorship.

HB 3555 requires Texas' Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to create an online registry where donors can list personal items (such as clothing, toys, or school supplies) for children entering foster care or changing placements. The registry ensures donated items are provided directly to children in DFPS conservatorship, legally belonging to the child and not reclaimable by DFPS or foster parents. DFPS must annually report to the legislature on inventory management and the number of children receiving items through the registry. This bill establishes a formal system to help children maintain personal belongings during foster care transitions.
