Revisions have been made in the above sections as a result of a statewide case consultation and training project that identified the need to develop a specific case organization for TEA Cases subject to the time-limit. This information was previously issued via memorandum and has been incorporated in the TEA Policy Manual.  Specific changes are as follows:

TEA 1070 was revised to incorporate a statement regarding case organization for TEA cases subject to the 24 months time-limit. The information regarding non time-limited cases was moved to TEA 1072.

TEA 1071 is a new section incorporating the case record organization for time-limited cases.

TEA 1072, Non Time-Limited Case Record Organization, is a new section. However, there were no changes made to the policy, which was moved from TEA 1070.

TEA 1080 was revised to change the timeframe for destroying case records from three years to five years.
