Rep. Leach asks Gov. Abbott to make CPS reforms an emergency item

“I do not believe there to be a more pressing challenge than the comprehensive reform and restructuring of this troubled agency,” Leach wrote

In an impassioned plea, one of the more conservative members of the Texas House this week asked Gov. Greg Abbott to make an overhaul of Child Protective Services an emergency item when the Legislature convenes in January.

“I am profoundly heartbroken over the tragedies that have taken place under the watch of our state’s Child Protective Services (CPS),” wrote Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, in a letter dated Thursday.
