(a) Other state and local resources must be used before purchased client services are expended in accordance with Texas Human Resources Code, §48.205.
(b) Not all purchased client services are available in all geographic areas of the state. DFPS may limit the units of service or length of time that clients can receive purchased client services, based upon service plans, availability of funds, and availability of service providers.
(c) If the region does not have sufficient funds to provide purchased client services to all eligible clients, the client will not be able to receive purchased client services at the time the client is determined eligible. Clients who are still in need of purchased client services when services are available will be given priority based upon the date of the service plan indicating the need for purchased client services.
