H.R. No. 549

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Since 1991, court appointed special advocates from
CASA of Collin County have helped countless area children in need;
and
WHEREAS, CASA advocates serve as guardians ad litem, looking
out for the best interests of children suffering from abuse or
neglect; they are appointed by judges to watch over these children
and to ensure that they get the attention they deserve in the often
overburdened legal, social service, and foster care systems; in
many instances, the volunteers are a rare source of stability in the
lives of the young people they assist; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of the past 24 years, CASA of Collin
County and its team of devoted volunteers have helped provide
advocates for nearly 8,000 children; in so doing, the organization
has continued to fulfill its mission of ensuring that 100 percent of
vulnerable children in Collin County have a safe, permanent, and
loving home; and
WHEREAS, Through their compassion, dedication, and hard
work, CASA of Collin County advocates have made a positive and
lasting impact in the lives of children and families in their area,
and it is indeed fitting to honor them for their commitment to the
young people of their communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the members of CASA of Collin County for
their service and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued
success with their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for CASA of Collin County as an expression of high regard
by the Texas House of Representatives.
