Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My grand daughter has been placed in custody of the state since the last week of March 2014 for child abuse and neglect. CPS is only focusing on my son and his wife because they are young parents but there were three other people living in the house. My son has been told that the other three people are not being investigated. My question is why? They have no proof that my son or his wife did this. CPS only speaks with the mother's parents and the child's parents. Maybe I am asking the wrong part of the law, but I don't want to wait to long and then it is too late. thank you!

I can't answer your question about why they took action and are investigating your son. It sounds like you need more information. As a grandparent you don't have the right to order records concerning CPS' findings. However, your son does have the right to order records from CPS. Of course, I am a board certified criminal law attorney and I don't do any family law. I only deal with CPS in the context of a criminal investigation. IME, it's likely there will be some kind of criminal investigation based on what you've said here. Here is the link where he can order records about the CPS case.
