(a) Except as provided in this subsection, DFPS must
keep the parents of a child in substitute care apprised of the current
placement of their child, including any changes in placement, unless:
(1) the parent's parental rights to the child have
been terminated;
(2) the parent cannot be located despite reasonable
efforts; or
(3) DFPS has been named the child's permanent managing
conservator in a suit in which parental rights were not terminated
and the parent is no longer involved in the life of the child.
(b) DFPS is not required to provide a parent with any
information regarding a child's placement that DFPS determines will
pose a risk to the health or safety of the child, the child's caregiver,
or any other person.
