Texas House, Senate unanimously vote to overhaul CPS

AUSTIN (KXAN) — After more than 200 children died in the state’s care last year, the Texas House and Senate passed a bill to overhaul Child Protective Services.
Lawmakers are looking for solutions to help the troubled agency lacking funding and employees. Almost 50 children enter the state’s foster care system every day. Last year, more than 1,000 children aged out of the system without finding a home. Those behind Senate Bill 11 hope to change that.
