In Texas, Child Protective Services (CPS) has the authority to intervene if a child is in a potentially harmful situation, including being in the care of a parent who is intoxicated. If a sober adult is present and can ensure the child's safety, CPS may not immediately remove the child, but they could still investigate the situation. Ultimately, the decision would depend on the specific circumstances and whether CPS believes the child is at risk of harm. If there are concerns for the child's safety, CPS may take action to protect the child.
