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.
Look for the item titled: General
Appropriations Act for the 2004-05 Biennium (LBB Recommendations)
The recommendations for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services are found in Article II, pages 94 - 103. Public
hearings have taken place regarding all state agency budgets with
the House Appropriations Committee (sub-committee on Health and
Human Services) and with the Senate Finance Committee.
