McCarthy/Staff photographer) AUSTIN — As the number of Texas foster children without suitable placements keeps spiraling, the state’s lead contractor in San Antonio has quit and the top leader at Child Protective Services is telling lawmakers something they don’t want to hear – state foster-care rates are “insufficient.” Family Tapestry, a division of The Children’s Shelter that began supplanting the state’s role as the chief procurer of foster-care beds in Bexar County in early 2019, resigned from its contract on Monday.
