He's lucky to be retiring before he got fired!

After four decades with different government agencies he is probable burned out. He probable has seen and done things that none of us want to imagine. Maybe that had something to do with the wrong full detainment of those children.
Good for him…I hope he enjoys his grand children.

The guy is obviously an idiot to order CPS to pull off that religion-biased raid and steal over 400 children from their parents without just cause. Texas authorities all the way up to and including the Attorney General and Governor are to blame for that mess. So the appointed agency head gets the ax. No doubt he was forced out so retirement and a fat pension was better than being outright fired for stupidity. Now if Texas voters will remove the Governor and Attorney General it will send a message that you don't mess with freedom in Texas... not even if you're not a Baptist!

Have you all had enough of the right wing conservative (republican) "nut jobs" controlling every aspect of your lives or atleast wanting too.
Vote a straight democratic ticket this november and we can get this country back on track toward peace, prosperity, and progress in the 21st Century.

This guy may be the smartest of the bunch in Texas.
Does anyone remember CPS promising that we would see evidence of broken bones, sexually abused boys, numerous girls pregnant by old men etc. etc.
If this man who heads Texas CPS was going to "triumph in the end" (i.e. the investigation was going to result in shocking findings of abuse and neglect), he never would have resigned.
This resignation paves the way for an outside professional to come in and clean CPS's house in the wake of this public relations disaster.
Perhaps the truly abused and neglected children in Texas will get some attention under new leadership.
