The Texas Association of Child Placing Agencies

Welcome to TACPA
The Texas Association of Child Placing Agencies was founded in 2003, to provide a platform for greater cooperation between child placing agencies in Texas.
It's mission is:
  • Increase Professionalism
  • Have a Collective Voice with the Department and the Legislature
  • To increase coordination between agencies, to better serve the children of Texas


What we need to do is learn to work in the system, by which I mean that everybody, every team, every platform, every division, every component is there not for individual competitive profit or recognition, but for contribution to the system as a whole on a win-win basis.
