Relating to a deadline for completing services under a family service plan.

HB 661 sets a 15-business-day deadline for completing services under a family service plan in Texas child welfare cases. It directly affects children in foster care or under supervision, their parents, and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The bill amends the Family Code to require that department services must conclude no later than 15 business days before the case dismissal date. This change applies only to service plans created on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect existing plans. The law aims to establish clearer timelines for achieving permanency goals like returning a child to their home or securing a safe alternative placement.
