The Supreme Court of Texas
From Child Abuse & Neglect, to Safety, Permanency & Well-Being
More than 20,000 Texas children are in foster care on any given day, and more than 6,000 children await adoption. No child enters or leaves foster care or the custody of the Department of Family and Protective Services without state judicial action. Courts play a pivotal role, with the Department, in protecting and serving this vulnerable and blameless population. For the Supreme Court and the judicial branch of Texas, achieving safety, permanency & well-being for these children is a moral, practical, legal, and financial imperative. The Children’s Commission was created to strengthen Texas courts to achieve safety, permanency, and well being for abused and neglected children, through judicial leadership and collaboration, and with the support of the federal Court Improvement Program.
LETS KEEP FAITH THAT THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND NOT FOLLOW SUIT AS UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT RULINGS.
