HB 4131 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the receivership of a single-source continuum contractor providing child welfare services.

HB 4131 creates a legal process for appointing a court-appointed receiver (manager) to oversee a single-source continuum contractor providing child welfare services in Texas. It directly affects contractors under exclusive state contracts for child welfare services and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The bill specifies five situations triggering receivership: continued failure to perform after remedial plans, plans to cease operations without transition, imminent danger to children's health/safety, failure to provide child information, or court noncompliance. This mechanism ensures uninterrupted child welfare services by allowing courts to step in when contractors fail to meet contractual or safety obligations.
