HB 4130 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain requirements regarding a contract between a single source continuum contractor and the Department of Family and Protective Services.

HB 4130 modifies notice requirements for terminating contracts between the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and single-source continuum contractors. It increases the required notice period for both contractors (180 days) and DFPS (180 days) before contract termination, replacing previous 60- and 30-day notice periods. Crucially, the bill allows DFPS to immediately contract with a new provider for the same services without competitive bidding, bypassing standard procurement rules under Texas Government Code and Human Resources Code. This applies only to contracts entered into or amended after September 1, 2025, directly affecting DFPS, existing continuum contractors, and potential replacement providers.
