	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, February 23, 2011, is Children's Advocacy Centers of
	Texas Day at the Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Founded with a charter membership of 13 local
	advocacy centers, Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas has grown to
	encompass 64 local centers across the state; its mission is to
	restore the lives of abused children by partnering with local
	agencies to investigate and prosecute child abuse; and
	WHEREAS, The organization offers training programs, conducts
	site visits, provides a case-tracking system, and operates a
	director mentoring program to help its local centers provide better
	and more comprehensive protection to the children in their care; it
	has recently initiated One With Courage, a public awareness
	campaign that focuses on the courage required to talk about sexual
	abuse and seeks to change the way people respond to child abuse; and
	WHEREAS, Local advocacy centers bring together a variety of
	agencies and community organizations, including law enforcement,
	child protection services, and health professionals, to create a
	safe haven from which abused children can begin their journey to
	justice and healing, and all associated with the centers indeed
	deserve special recognition for their important work; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 23, 2011, as Children's
	Advocacy Centers of Texas Day at the Capitol and commend the group
