WHEREAS, The House of Representatives is pleased to join |
|
Texans across the state in celebrating Children's Advocacy Centers |
|
of Texas Legislative Day at the State Capitol on January 29, 2019; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas can trace its |
|
origins back to 1989, when the state's first children's advocacy |
|
center, The Bridge, was established in Amarillo; this pioneering |
|
organization joined with 12 other local centers in 1994 to form |
|
CACTX, which now has a membership of more than 70 children's |
|
advocacy centers throughout the state; and |
|
WHEREAS, CACTX provides a wide variety of assistance for |
|
local centers, including training, technical support, and |
|
evaluation services; and |
|
WHEREAS, The CACTX member centers serve some 58,000 children |
|
each year by working closely with multidisciplinary teams that |
|
include law enforcement and the Department of Family and Protective |
|
Services to coordinate joint investigations of child abuse and to |
|
help child victims receive the services they need to heal; and |
|
WHEREAS, Since its inception, Children's Advocacy Centers of |
|
Texas has worked tirelessly to protect the state's most vulnerable |
|
population, and it is indeed deserving of recognition for its |
|
contributions to the well-being of countless young Texans and their |
|
families; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize January 29, 2019, as Children's |
|
Advocacy Centers of Texas Day at the State Capitol and commend the |
|
organization and its member centers for their efforts in behalf of |
|
child victims of abuse; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas be |
|
extended best wishes for a successful legislative day at the |
|
Capitol and that an official copy of this resolution be prepared for |
|
the organization as an expression of high regard by the Texas House |
|
of Representatives. |
