TX SB300

Requires the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and foster care contractors to share information with juvenile justice agencies immediately upon request, eliminating the previous 14-business-day deadline

Expands the categories of youth whose information can be shared to include children for whom parental rights have been terminated with respect to one or both parents

Broadens the scope of agencies that can request foster care information from DFPS, changing from only "local juvenile probation departments" to any "state or local juvenile justice agency"

Information sharing applies to multi-system youth who are or have been in DFPS conservatorship, involved in family safety services cases, reported as abuse/neglect victims, or identified as perpetrators in substantiated abuse cases

Takes effect immediately upon two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers, or September 1, 2025, and applies only to information requests made on or after the effective date
