You have a duty to report child abuse and neglect. Please report at 1-800-252-5400.

Under Texas State Law, all persons having cause to believe that a child's physical or mental health or welfare has been adversely affected by abuse or neglect have a duty to immediately report such information to Child Protective Services.

The El Paso County Attorney’s Office represents the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) in court when there is a need to protect children from abuse or neglect. Our role begins after DFPS has investigated a report and determined that legal action may be necessary to ensure a child’s safety.

Our office does not investigate child abuse or neglect, and we do not receive or handle reports or complaints directly. We also do not prosecute criminal charges against individuals accused of abuse or neglect — those cases are handled by the District Attorney's Office.

If you believe a child is being abused or neglected, please report it to the Texas Abuse Hotline. You can make a report by phone at 1-800-252-5400, or online by using the button below.
