We are so inspired by the providers, leaders and advocates who stepped up to share their insights at our From South Central Texas to the Capitol convening.

Gathering with partners across Bexar County and surrounding communities gave us an invaluable look at what families truly need right now. Hearing these experiences firsthand ensures our advocacy remains deeply rooted in reality as we prepare for the 90th Legislative Session.

Thank you to Senator José Menéndez for your incredible participation and to our cohosts, United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County and SJRC Texas & Belong, for helping make this day possible!

Grateful for the providers, leaders and advocates who raised their voice for families and children at our From Central Texas to the Capitol convening!

Last week, TexProtects heard about the realities families face directly from the Central Texas community. Through thought-provoking and engaging discussions, we gained invaluable insights about what children and families need to thrive as we look ahead to the 90th Legislative Session.

Thank you to our partners at United Way for Greater Austin for cohosting the event, Representative Donna Howard, Representative John Bucy III, Michelle Wittenburg and all the participants who came ready to share their experiences.

Our mission unites!

This week we had the honor of meeting with advocates, community leaders and new friends in Austin. Together, we spent an evening elevating our work at TexProtects and discussing the importance of preventing child abuse and neglect.

These moments of championing families is what inspires our work. Thank you to everyone who joined us and thank you to Andrea Galliano Sparks, Lauren Clay, Jamie Rose and Chief Justice Darlene Byrne for hosting this unforgettable evening.
