The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services' budget proposals are submited as Legislative Appropriations Requests (LAR) to the Legislative Budget Board (LBB). In turn, the LBB prepares initial recommendations that are the basis for the initial public hearings by the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Finance Committee.

Substantial revisions may take place from the initial LBB Recommendations (prepared in December 2000) through the adoption of the final General Appropriations bill (at the end of May 2001). The LBB provides LAR information and initial funding recommendations at online Reporting and Documents section.
