Harris County Protective Services for Children and Adults
1966 - 2016

Celebrating 50 Years - HCPS Timeline Poster

While Child Protective Services (CPS) in Texas is a state-managed program through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), there has been a tradition of county-level involvement since 1966 in Harris County.

In a unique governmental collaboration, protective services for children and adults in Harris County are seamlessly provided by the State of Texas, acting through (DFPS), and Harris County through Harris County Protective Services for Children and Adults (HCPS).

Thank you for visiting the Harris County Protective Services for Children and Adults website. The problems of child abuse and youth at risk cry out for community solutions. We cannot do it alone and need your help. Join HCPS to protect children. There are some things done better together: raising a barn, building a rocket, but most importantly... protecting a child.
