Boards (TCCWB) are making invaluable contributions to the safety of |
|
abused and neglected children; and |
|
WHEREAS, TCCWB is a network of about 2,000 volunteers that |
|
represent more than 200 county child welfare and child protective |

|
important coalition strives to protect our state's vulnerable |
|
citizens through a wide range of efforts and initiatives; and |

Family and Protective Services and other agencies and |
|
organizations, TCCWB has worked to develop resources, programs, and |

need; the organization is also committed to promoting public |
|
awareness in order to prevent abuse and neglect; and |
|
WHEREAS, Childhood is a special time of life, shaping the |
|
character and attitudes that mark a person's future, and by |

combating child abuse and neglect, all those associated with TCCWB |
|
are striving to ensure that our children receive the love and |
|
support they need to live healthy, happy, and productive lives; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
