APS 2.1 Intake Priority by County and Region 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.

DFPS（得克萨斯州家庭与保护服务局）针对保护服务的提供制定了优先级。在确定优先级的过程中，DFPS明确规定了与被指控受害者进行首次面对面访谈的时间框架。这些优先级基于对被指控受害者生命或身体安全的威胁的严重性和紧迫性。（得克萨斯州行政法典第40章第705.2101条）

首次与被指控受害者的面对面接触将按照以下优先级进行：

优先级1：被指控受害者处于严重伤害状态或因虐待或疏忽而面临死亡危险的情况。在SWI（社会工作干预）收到优先级I指控后的24小时内，APS（儿童保护服务）将进行面对面接触。

优先级2：被指控受害者遭受虐待、疏忽或经济剥削，因此处于严重伤害的风险。在SWI收到优先级II指控后的三个日历日内，APS将进行面对面接触。

优先级3：所有其他被指控受害者处于虐待或疏忽状态的情况。在SWI收到优先级III指控后的七个日历日内，APS将进行面对面接触。

优先级4：在没有即将到来的贫困或基本需求剥夺危险的情况下，指控经济剥削的情况。在SWI收到优先级IV指控后的十四个日历日内，APS将进行面对面接触。

纳入标准基于接待关闭日期。
