2023-08-02T18:43:22+00:00

Recently, we have been celebrating the parental rights bills the Texas Legislature passed, which the Governor signed into law to protect Texas families. However, not every priority of the Family Freedom Project became law. Here are 2 priorities that did not pass the legislature that we will continue to work on in the future: HB 1086: HB 1086 would limit the use of ex-parte hearings by CPS to force parents to allow CPS access to the home passed the House by a vote of 131-7 but failed to have a hearing in the Senate.
