Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

If your mother reports her to the police and they find her, she will be returned to your mother and whoever is harboring her may be in some serious trouble. The fact that she is on probation makes her situation all the dicier.

Is there a family member she can live with? Maybe your mother would enter into a Chapter 34 Non-Parent Relative Agreement and let her live somewhere else for a while. Here is a link to the DPS version of a form that could be used: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/documents/child_protection/2638.pdf
