Protective Services: What Are the Implications of Calling CPS on Your Wife

My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Texas.

Set this is the scenario: A man and his wife have a child , it was found out later that the child is not biologically the fathers and the fathers name was not included on the birth certificate nor was the "stepfather" . The wife is a former meth addict who began using again 6 months into the pregnancy. She was confronted and it was found out that she was being supplied by her father who was jobless and living with the couple at the time. Husband kicks dad in law out and wife gets clean. Fast forward 10 months and wife is caught by husband smoking meth in bathroom. Husband doesn't know how to fix the issue as the wife refuses rehab so husband - forgot to mention dad in law is now back due to homelessness- Husband comes up with a great idea- if he does the drug with her she won't have a reason to lie and hide it. The plant did not work and only made things worse. Husband is at a loss and depressed and calls CPS pretending to be a friend of the husband and tells the entire story (above) and that the husband enrolled child in daycare to ensure cared for if mom crashes all day but leaves out the part of his geniouxus idea to do the drug with her and stated that "Husband doesn't drink or do drugs, home is clean, no weapons etc. Biggest concern being that CPS has been called before because mom crashes and baby goes outside and wanders around the apt complex until police and CPS show up.

So:

1) Since the report was directed at woman and her dad, is/would there be any reason CPS would drug test the Husband?

2) in the event of a drug test would there be criminal charges against whoever failed? Would they differ considering that husband is the only person employed? And if the husband did fail what if any charges would he be looking At?

3) I know an official report can be requested, if husband is asked to do a drug test can he decline until receiving copy of said report?

3b) since report states that husband is great person. Who doesnt drink on or do drugs, will that allow the husband to refuse a drug test since he was not accused?

3c) if a test is refused what are the ramifications?

4) if husband is not drug tested and decides to file divorce, what impact will there be on alimony, custody, etc

5) what happened s to wife and wife's dad when they inevitably fail drug test?

6) what happens with the child?

7) did husband do the right thing by calling CPS?
