APS 2.1 Intake Priority by Region with Demographics FY2014-FY2023

DFPS sets priorities for the delivery of protective services. In establishing priorities, DFPS defines timeframes for conducting initial face-to-face interviews with alleged victims. The priorities are based on severity and immediacy of alleged threat to the life or physical safety of the alleged victim. (40 Texas Administrative Code §705.2101)

The initial face-to-face contact with the alleged victim is conducted according to the following priorities:

Priority 1: Allegations that the victim is in a state of serious harm or is in danger of death from abuse or neglect. APS makes face-to-face contact within 24 hours of SWI’s receipt of Priority I allegations.

Priority 2: Allegations that the victim is abused, neglected, or financially exploited and, as a result, is at risk of serious harm. APS makes face-to-face contact within three calendar days of SWI’s receipt of Priority II allegations.

Priority 3: All other allegations that the victim is in a state of abuse or neglect. APS makes face-to-face contact within seven calendar days of SWI’s receipt of Priority III allegations.

Priority 4: Allegations of financial exploitation when there is no danger of imminent impoverishment or deprivation of basic needs. APS makes face-to-face contact within 14 calendar days of SWI’s receipt of Priority IV allegations.

Inclusion is based on the Intake Closure Date.

儿童和家庭保护服务局（DFPS）根据保护服务的紧迫性与严重性，设定了服务提供的优先级。在确定优先级的过程中，DFPS 明确了与涉嫌受害者进行初次面对面访谈的时间框架。这些优先级基于涉嫌威胁对受害者生命或身体安全的紧迫性和严重性。（得克萨斯州行政法典第40章第705.2101节）

初次与涉嫌受害者的面对面接触按照以下优先级进行：

优先级1：涉嫌受害者遭受严重伤害或因虐待或疏忽而面临死亡威胁的情况。儿童和家庭保护服务局在收到优先级I的指控后24小时内进行面对面接触。

优先级2：涉嫌受害者遭受虐待、疏忽或经济剥削，因此面临严重伤害风险的情况。儿童和家庭保护服务局在收到优先级II的指控后三个日历日内进行面对面接触。

优先级3：所有其他涉嫌受害者处于虐待或疏忽状态的情况。儿童和家庭保护服务局在收到优先级III的指控后七个日历日内进行面对面接触。
