Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

cps

the hospital called CPS because I

went to the ER with my infant and

then the intake nurse said she

seemed fine so left. Because I did

not see the doctor CPS was called.

They asked me questions and

asked me to take her to their

doctor the next day to ensure she

was ok. I did that and I called the

CPS worker and she said that

everything checked out, the baby is

fine, and the case will be closed.

But she asked me because I

answered her questions honestly

about ever using drugs, which was

over 6 years ago, if I would submit

to a drug test. Do I have to since

the case was bogus and a mistake

by the hospital.
