The Colony

The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services on Tuesday unanimously approved four bills by Texas State Senator Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, to better protect and serve Texas children in foster care and other programs connected to the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).


“These bills create a more community-based, transparent and collaborative approach to address the needs of one of our state's most vulnerable populations -- children in foster care,” Nelson said. “My goal with this legislation is to achieve a meaningful, positive impact in the lives of these children and help them to find permanent, supportive homes.”
