    Default CPS Case Ruled Out - Can I Expunge the Records?

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Texas

    We had a CPS case against both of us for abuse and neglect. It was determined ruled out.

    We now need to know what happens to the records of the case.

    Can we see the records?

    Can anyone else request the records, under the Open Record Act?

    Do the records stay in CPS files, and can they be used as part of any future cases?

    Would this case, even though ruled out, show up in an empoloyment background search?

    Thanks for your assistance

    Default Re: CPS Case Ruled Out - Can I Expunge the Records?

    Information about who may access records, when and how, is summarized here. Yes, of course CPS can maintain records about past accusations and the results of its investigations. You will need to check with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to see if the report is included in the central registry of reported cases of child abuse or neglect (I expect it is) and whether, given the outcome of your case, whether it is reported and if you can petition for its removal.
