Hello and thank you for the opportunity to assist you. There may be a slight delay between your follow ups and my replies as I am typing out my answer. Please understand the following important points: (1) this is general information only, not legal advice; and (2) my function is to give you honest information and not to tell you what you necessarily wish to hear.

I am sorry for your situation.

Can you find out how long it takes for an investigation would take?

This varies, but generally speaking, Adult Protective Services follows the following steps:

1 - interview all parties (takes a week to three weeks)
2 - file in court for intervention if it deems necessary (about 4 weeks out, earlier if this is deemed an emergency); or the matter is dropped.
3 - action plan is developed and the matter is revisited every few weeks to ensure that everyone is following it
4 - if there are issues, the Adult Protective Services can file for temporary orders to take charge of the situation with the Court.

So the investigation will be rather swift, especially if the accusations are major.

And what if whoever did call, used my name?

You can call the protective services yourself and ask if your name was used for this. They would tell you.

What is my recourse? I did not call, and if I ever needed to call to file a complaint, I would admit it, I am not sneaky.

You have the right to file (1) defamation and (2) invasion of privacy against the individual who actually filed your complaint.

In Texas, the elements of a defamation claim are publication of a statement; that was defamatory concerning the plaintiff; with the requisite degree of fault. WFAA-TV, Inc. v. McLemore, 978 S.W.2d 568, 571 (Tex. 1998).

Invasion of privacy includes "appropriation of a name or likeness" and may possibly also be added to the suit in Texas. Cain v. Hearst Corp., 878 SW 2d 577 - Tex: Supreme Court 1994.
