DFPS and OCBCT Receive Additional Unsolicited Proposals for Region 7A

 



On October 22, 2024, the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and the Office of Community-Based Care Transition (OCBCT) received two unsolicited proposals for Community-Based Care. The proposals are for the Central Texas/Waco community area, otherwise known as Region 7A. This community area includes the following counties: Bell, Bosque, Brazos, Coryell, Falls, Freestone, Grimes, Hamilton, Hill, Lampasas, Leon, Limestone, Llano, Madison, McLennan, Milam, Mills, Robertson, San Saba, and Williamson.

What is next? As a result of multiple proposals being received, the unsolicited proposal process for Region 7A is cancelled, and DFPS, along with OCBCT, will begin the formal procurement process for advertising a Request for Application for Region 7A.

We at The Legal Eagle 🦅 watchdog organization of East Texas will be investigating these proposals to insure that it is in the best interest of the East Texas area.

If you would like to volunteer or donate to our cause please email thelegaleagleofetx@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading!

Houston County Sheriff's Office & The Request for Open Records

Image
 As a volunteer of The Legal Eagle we often times need to do a records request.   On September 22, 2024 I made a formal request in writing by certified mail to the Houston County Sheriff's department.  I allowed the department time to receive my letter and I allowed them 10 business days to gather my request and have them mailed to my address that was provided.  In the following 10 business days I did not receive a reply letter, email or phone call from the Houston County Sheriff's department at all.  It is almost as if I was being completely ignored by the offices of the Houston County Sheriff's department in whole.  What is that old saying, if you don't see it then it's not there? Wrong.  It is not always out of sight out of mind! In the state of Texas, there is a Public Information's Act.  You can read about it in detail at https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/open-government/members-public/overview-public-information-act .  This...

  During the Texas 88th legislative session, Rider 45 [1]  in House Bill 1 was passed, which requires providers to report on information on referrals they have received by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) or a Single Source Continuum Contractor (SSCC). Moving forward, DFPS must publish a report by September 30 of each year. For those children in the care of the legacy system, DFPS will utilize the General Placement Search (GPS) application to track the number of children referred to each provider, the number the resulted in an admission or not, and the reasons for denial in the provider contacts.

The Struggles of Applying for a TSBCI Loan in East Texas

The Struggles of Getting a TSBCI Loan in East Texas As a new business, we are always looking for a business loan or grant to help our business grow.  The other day I was taking some time to watch Matthew Leslo on YouTube.  He was discussing the numerous grant and loans that are available to small and disadvantage business owners and he was telling me about the Department of Treasury and that is when I came across the TSBCI loans.  Apparently, according to Matthew Leslo the government sets aside approx. 15,000$ to each American every year.  So we wanted to do a little investigation to find out if it is true.    You can visit Matthew Leslo's You Tube channel by clicking here! So I visited the Department of Treasury website and I emailed the government so that I could find out where the billions of dollars that is being set aside to help business owners progress in East Texas and I was mailed a flyer of a list of banks who are participation is the TSBCI loan p...
