Hi I am a parent advocate in Indiana. I work for a organization/ The Indiana Parent Center. Each state has at least one. You can locate Texas's by going
to the Alliance Center. I am going to need some time to find it myself.

I am not a good researcher on finding this particular site. So I will be back
tonight with the site and Texas's Parent Center's I'm pretty sure there are at least 2.

Next I would contact the Texas State Dept of Education, Ask for the Special Education Dept. Talk to the person in charge of Residential placements.
Explain what is going on and how many times he has needed to be placed medically.

I'm also guessing that he is not in school at present. That he is homebounded by the school. Which usually means that someone is coming into the home/ or a building 2 to 10 hours a week and teaching/tutoring him. And then you are responsible to help make sure he gets his homework done.

Is he getting therapy through a outside program? Usually the schools will
provide some kind of therapy, but it might not be any more than 1 or 2 times
a week for one hour. And it might not be the kind he needs.

But the school should be doing something. If he is homebound right now.
They should be meeting at least every 60 days, but you can request every 30 days.
