Family Code § 264.192

Sec. 264.192. PROCEEDING TO APPOINT RECEIVER. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, a court shall give precedence to a petition for the appointment of a receiver under this subchapter over other matters. (b) A court shall conduct an evidentiary hearing on a petition for the appointment of a receiver under this subchapter not later than the fifth day after the date the petition is filed. The department shall make reasonable efforts to notify the single-source continuum contractor of the hearing under this subsection. (c) A court shall grant a petition for the appointment of a receiver under this subchapter on finding that: (1) one of the conditions described by Section 264.1915 exists; and (2) the continued existence of the condition jeopardizes the health, safety, or welfare of a child under the conservatorship of the department. (d) A court may grant a petition for the appointment of a receiver under this subchapter ex parte. (e) The issuance of a check without sufficient money by the single-source continuum contractor or the existence of delinquent obligations for salaries, utilities, or essential services or commodities for the contractor is prima facie evidence that the contractor cannot meet or is unlikely to be able to meet financial obligations related to services provided under the community-based care contract as provided by Section 264.1915(6).
