What is an outcry according to Texas law?

An outcry refers to the passage of information by a child or disabled victim of a statutorily- designated offense, like a sexual offense.

Educators are regarded as outcry witnesses.  An outcry witness is legally obligated to report the statutorily-designated offense and may be invited during the trial proceedings to testify.

Under Texas law, an outcry by a child against any form of abuse can be used as sufficient legal evidence to support a criminal conviction of the perpetrator.

Thus, after an outcry, educators are required to report the outcry to family services according to Texas law immediately but not later than 48 hours.
