SECTION 1: CENTRAL REGISTRY INFORMATION

As required by Texas Family Code §261.002, DFPS maintains a central registry of the names of persons found by DFPS to have abused or neglected a child. The DFPS Central Registry includes information gathered during Child Protective Services (CPS), Child Care Licensing (CCL), and Adult Protective Services (APS) in-home and provides investigations of child abuse and neglect that resulted in a disposition of "reason to believe" for CPS and CCL cases or "confirmed and validated" for APS cases. (Findings of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an adult victim are not included in the Central Registry.)

 

You will not clear the Central Registry check if you:

• Have the role of designated perpetrator or sustained perpetrator in an investigation included in the registry; or
• Are involved as an alleged perpetrator in an open child abuse or neglect investigation being conducted by DFPS. (A new Central Registry check may be requested at the conclusion of the investigation to determine if you were designated as perpetrator of child abuse or neglect.)

List any other names the individual uses or has used in the past, including married and maiden names, below. If you do not provide every name that the individual has used, you may receive inaccurate results: 

SECTION 5: DESIGNEE

Exception for employment or volunteering: For request purposes related to employment or volunteering, DFPS cannot release the results to any person other than you. Do not list a designee below if your request is for employment or volunteering purposes. If your request is for employment or volunteering purposes, be sure you indicated how you want your results sent to you in the box above.

However, if the check results in a match, DFPS will only send the results directly to the subject of the request.

Exception for a child custody or adoption evaluation: If the only exception would be if the request is submitted for a court ordered child custody or adoption evaluation as defined by the Texas Family Code (see Section 7 for complete detail). The court ordered evaluator must enter his or her information below to receive the results. Exception for Adam Walsh and CCDBG requests: A designee that is a representative of another state agency required to comply with the federal law of the Adam Walsh or CCDBG may receive a copy of the results if a copy of the designee's state employment ID is included with the request.
