The Department anticipates beginning to interim credential providers to deliver T3C services within this new service array starting in January 2025; credentialing will continue through August 2027. And TCCFS will continue to add training opportunities to the website and providers can register for live events or access previously recorded events through the Online Learning Center.

Additional grant funds are available for FY 2025 and more details are coming soon, along with additional opportunities for training, technical assistance and more. DFPS and TCCFS continue to host monthly T3C Office Hours, so that licensed providers have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about T3C.
