A Texas Statement of Inability (TSI) is a document issued by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DIPS) to identify situations in which a person is unable to provide adequate care or protection for themselves or their family members. The TSI is used to determine if a person is incapable of providing for their own basic needs or is unable to protect their family members from abuse or neglect. There are four types of Texas Statements of Inability: 1. Physical Inability: This statement is issued when a person is unable to provide for their own physical needs due to a physical or mental disability. 2. Economic Inability: This statement is issued when a person is unable to provide for their own basic economic needs due to poverty or unemployment. 3. Emotional Inability: This statement is issued when a person is unable to provide for their own emotional needs due to mental illness, substance abuse, or trauma. 4. Protective Inability: This statement is issued when a person is unable to protect their family members from abuse or neglect.
