Question

After an outcry, how long do educators have to report the outcry to family services according to texas law?.

Answer 1

After an outcry, educators are required to report the outcry to family services according to Texas law immediately but not later than 48 hours.

What is an outcry according to Texas law?

An outcry refers to the passage of information by a child or disabled victim of a statutorily- designated offense, like a sexual offense.

Educators are regarded as outcry witnesses.  An outcry witness is legally obligated to report the statutorily-designated offense and may be invited during the trial proceedings to testify.

Under Texas law, an outcry by a child against any form of abuse can be used as sufficient legal evidence to support a criminal conviction of the perpetrator.

Thus, after an outcry, educators are required to report the outcry to family services according to Texas law immediately but not later than 48 hours.
