|
WHEREAS, Since its establishment in 1994, Children's |

|
and prosecuting child abuse; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With 61 centers in 148 Texas counties, support is |

30,000 kids in the Lone Star State benefited from CACTX services in |
|
|
the past year alone; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The future of Texas depends largely on its children, |
|
|
for the challenges of tomorrow will be met by the youth of today, |

have helped to strengthen families and communities throughout the |
|
|
