FFP Filed Brief to Defend Texas Father at the Supreme Court of Texas

Because family and freedom should come first, we have filed a Child Protective Services (CPS) bill that, if passed, will enforce greater accountability standards on CPS. While CPS plays a necessary role in society, they all too often function with an egregious lack of accountability. This omnibus bill was filed by Rep. James Frank as HB 730. It packages together several measures into one bill, making it an effective tool to bring about the greatest possible change. This bill will tackle [...]
