§ 162.103. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHILD. (a)
Financial responsibility for a child placed as provided in the
compact is determined, in the first instance, as provided in
Article V of the compact. After partial or complete default of
performance under the provisions of Article V assigning financial
responsibility, the executive director may bring suit under Chapter
154 and may file a complaint with the appropriate prosecuting
attorney, claiming a violation of Section 25.05, Penal Code.
(b) After default, if the executive director determines
that financial responsibility is unlikely to be assumed by the
sending agency or the child's parents, the executive director may
cause the child to be returned to the sending agency.
(c) After default, the department shall assume financial
responsibility for the child until it is assumed by the child's
parents or until the child is safely returned to the sending agency.
