November Texas Child-Centered Care (T3C) Updates



T3C Logo

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) has been working hard to update the Interim Credential Application. We have incorporated feedback we received on the draft preview of the Child Placing Agencies (CPA) and General Residential Operations (GRO) Interim Applications that were released on September 27, 2024, and we have revised "draft" versions available.



*You may review the latest "draft" versions of the Interim Credential Applications here:*


* CPA Interim Credential Form [ [link removed] ]
* GRO Interim Credential Form [ [link removed] ]

While the requirements of the Interim Credential Application have not changed and continue to align with the Blueprint, the application format has been updated to include the following enhancements: 


* Removal of requirement to upload the same document multiple times.
* Removal of specific naming conventions.
* Improved per question/section instructions for how to proceed through the application.
* Streamlining of questions and corresponding documentation into a single section.

DFPS anticipates the release of the final Interim Credential Application in early December 2024.

Virtual Office Hours Extended

To support providers with the application process, The Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services (TACFS) and DFPS are excited to partner together and extend virtual T3C Office Hours in 2025!  

T3C Office Hours are regularly scheduled and allow Licensed Providers to drop in and ask any questions about T3C. Whether you’ve got a question about T3C requirements, updated Blueprints, credentialing and the application process, frequently asked questions, rates and funding, events and training, or anything else T3C, drop in and ask us! 

T3C Office Hours are available for Licensed Providers only and will allow those providers to ask burning questions and learn from the experience of others.

The next T3C Office Hours will occur In December. There is no need to register. Just use the link below to join in the conversation:


* *December 13, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. [ [link removed] ]

Office Hours will occur weekly in 2025, starting January 3, 2025, on Fridays at 11:00 a.m. Stay tuned for links for future dates.
