Notification of Confidentiality

Under Texas law, your identity as a reporter of suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation is confidential, and can only be revealed in limited circumstances pursuant to Texas Family Code 261.201(d). The law requires any person who suspects abuse or neglect to report it. You are protected from civil or criminal liability for making a false report, as long you made the report honestly, sincerely and without malicious intent. This is true even if DFPS determines that there was no abuse or neglect.

You may be subject to civil and/or criminal liability if you knowingly file a false report (for example, telling DFPS the child has injuries when there clearly are none).

Visit the Texas Family Code Chapter 261 for more detail.
