For programs other than transitional living, the young adult must either come from another residential operation or be in the care of DFPS. Which option best describes this requirement?

• A. They must come immediately from another residential child-care operation if the reason for admittance is consistent with a condition listed in §749.1103.
• B. They must be in the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
• C. Both A and B.
• D. Neither A nor B.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that, for programs other than transitional living, the young adult must come from a defined source: either another residential operation or DFPS involvement. One pathway is an immediate transfer from another residential child-care operation, specifically when the reason for admittance aligns with a condition listed in §749.1103. The other pathway is being in the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. So the requirement is satisfied if either of these sources applies, making the option that states both pathways are acceptable the best description. This aligns with the goal of ensuring proper oversight and continuity of care by restricting admissions to known, regulated sources.
