Texas SB640 mandates the Department of Family and Protective Services to report on youth suicide attempts among those in its conservatorship.

The bill requires the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to include in its annual report the number of children in its conservatorship who attempted suicide. The report must also include other statistics such as the number of children who died from abuse or neglect, those who were victims of trafficking, and those who are missing from substitute care providers. The report is to be made available electronically to the public by February 1 each year. Additionally, the bill amends the definition of "significant change in medical condition" to include suicide attempts.
