An Emergency Card Is a Good Start. But It Can't Protect Your Kids.
This card tells your babysitter who to call. But under Texas law, it gives no one legal authority to take your children. Without legally binding guardian designations, your kids could end up in CPS custody — even if your sister lives 10 minutes away.
What This Card Does
- ✓Tells a caregiver who to call in an emergency
- ✓Provides critical medical info (allergies, medications)
- ✓Lists your preferred hospital and pediatrician
- ✓States your guardian preference
What This Card Can't Do
- ✗Give anyone legal authority over your children
- ✗Prevent CPS from placing kids with strangers
- ✗Authorize medical treatment decisions
- ✗Replace a will, trust, or Kids Protection Plan
A Kids Protection Plan turns your preferences into legal authority. It ensures your chosen guardian can take your children immediately — no court, no CPS, no strangers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my information stored anywhere?
No. Everything stays on your device. We don't send your data to any server. When you close the page, it's gone — which is why we recommend printing or emailing yourself a copy.
Is this emergency card a legal document?
No. This is an informational reference card for babysitters and caregivers. It has no legal authority. To create legally binding guardian designations, you need a Kids Protection Plan or estate plan created by a licensed attorney.
Can I update my card later?
Yes! Just come back to this page and fill it out again. We recommend updating your card whenever something changes — new allergies, new emergency contacts, new pediatrician, etc.
What's the difference between this card and a Kids Protection Plan?
This card provides helpful information to caregivers. A Kids Protection Plan is a legally binding set of documents that names legal guardians, provides emergency instructions, and ensures your children are never in the care of strangers. The emergency card is a small piece of what's included in a full KPP.
Should I give this to my daycare?
Absolutely. Give a copy to anyone who cares for your children: babysitters, daycare, grandparents, neighbors who watch your kids, coaches, and after-school programs. The more people who have this information, the better.
