What the state context can—and cannot—show
Texas guidance describes an overlap between domestic violence and child-welfare concerns. The Texas Children’s Commission says domestic violence and child abuse or neglect commonly co-occur and cites 99 child-maltreatment fatalities statewide in fiscal year 2024 in discussing domestic violence as a precursor.
Texas DFPS describes CPS’s role in investigating abuse and neglect reports and working to stabilize families, with courts involved when children cannot safely remain at home. DFPS also cautions that changes to the agency over time can make year-to-year statistical comparisons misleading.
