By Secure Internet Website

From an internet browser, click on https://www.txabusehotline.org/Publicmain.asp  (You MUST include the "s" in "https://" to access the site.)  When you get to the web site, there will be directions to the links to report abuse or neglect against children or to report abuse against elderly or disabled adults.  Because the public is less familiar with reporting requirements, the majority of the fields in the Texas Abuse Hotline form are required.  

Questions about making a report on the website can be directed to (512) 834-3784 or 1-800-252-5400.  

NOTE: The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (TDPRS) has changed its name to the Department of Family and Protective Services(DFPS).
