HB 534 adds Section 261.3092 to the Texas Family Code, requiring an external audit of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) if complaints about abuse or neglect investigations reach 15% or more of total investigations conducted annually. The audit will identify deficiencies, assess procedural compliance, and recommend improvements. The department must address audit findings within 90 days, with follow-up audits required for unresolved issues.
