Former Foster Youth Preference
Section 1. Subtitle B, Title 6, Government Code, is amended by adding Chapter 672 requiring state agencies to give an employment preference to former foster youth who were in the permanent managing conservatorship of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services on the day preceding the individual’s 18th birthday over other applicants for the same position who do not have a greater qualification. An individual is entitled to an employment preference only if the individual is 25 years of age or younger (day before turning 26).
“State agencies” means a department, commission, board, office, or other agency in the executive branch of state government created by the state constitution or a state statute, including an institution of higher education as defined by Section 61.003 of the Education Code. However, the employment preference does not apply to the position of private secretary or deputy of an official or department or to an individual holding a strictly confidential relation to the employing officer.
You must meet the following to qualify:
- You were a foster youth under the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services on the day before your 18th birthday
- AND
- You have not reached your 26th birthday
If you are an individual who qualifies for Former Foster Youth Preference, please contact our Veteran’s liaison, Tim Ratley.
