By: Price | H.R. No. 118 |
|
||
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. |
