A local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the investigation of a missing person may submit a request for activation of the Endangered Missing Persons Alert Network. The request must be submitted using the appropriate Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) form, available on the DPS website. If a local law enforcement agency determines to notify the department, the local law enforcement agency shall submit the form after it has verified that all criteria for activation are clearly established by the specific facts of the case. Local law enforcement shall provide documentation of a diagnosed intellectual disability with the request for activation.
