Remember there may be discrepancies, and reliablity should be questioned. For example, check out the "custody hearing" heading the San Angelo website gives for the April 2008 hearing testimony it provided. This was a hearing under Section 262 of the Texas Family Code, a statute mandating an evidentiary hearing where CPS must demonstrate that it has met the necessary burdens to justify removing a child from its parents -- this is not a standard, general "custody hearing" under the common family law understanding.
