State caseworkers face backlog on travel reimbursements
Texas CPS workers report financial strain from miles driven to monitor more than 400 children after a polygamous sect raid near Eldorado. The Texas Department of Family Protective Services plans up to eight temporary hires and an extra auditor to speed reimbursements while officials cite routing policies and congestion as factors. The Texas State Employees Union cites slow payments and anecdotal complaints across the state. Darrell Azar of DFPS says plans exist to accelerate processing and relieve the backlog.
