Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Texas family code Sec. 107.055 states (b) In a contested case, the agency or person making the social study shall furnish copies of the report to the attorneys for the parties before the earlier of:"

However, it makes no mention of provisioning of the report to a pro se litigant. It seems inherently prohibitive to due process that an individual can have evidence introduced against him/her in a case without the ability to examine, question and/or refute that evidence.

So, my question is then, is there a state or federal statute that allows for a pro se partie to receive the same information the opposing partie receives?
