H.R. No. 218

	R E S O L U T I O N
	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 31, 2017;
	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 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 more than 43,000
	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 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize January 31, 2017, as Children's
	Advocacy Centers of Texas Day at the State Capitol and commend the
	organization and its member centers on their efforts to ensure that
	abused children receive justice and healing; 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.
