Texas CASA

Advocacy Organization Case Study

Texas Court Appointed Special Advocates® and its 69 local programs of the Texas CASA network strive to ensure that every child who needs an advocate to speak for his or her best interests before the courts has a caring, trained adult to help them with this difficult period of his or her life.

Advocacy for Children is Texas CASA's #1 Concern

Texas Casa's 2011 fall conference is focused on improving outcomes for children. Proving advocacy outcomes – both in advocacy case management and advocacy reporting, demands an advocacy database that completely supports Texas CASA's service model and mission. CTK's advocacy software does just that.

How Texas CASA Provides Much Needed Advocacy and Support

Texas CASA, which was formed in 1989, provides funding, training, technical assistance, coordination for program expansion and development, advocacy, and tools and strategies for raising public awareness of child abuse and the need for volunteer advocates.

What A CASA Volunteer Does

CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and speak up for abused and neglected children to make sure they don't get lost in the overburdened legal and social service systems or languish in the foster care system. CASA volunteers stay with each child until he or she is placed in a safe, permanent home and the case is closed. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer is the one constant in their lives and often, the one adult who cares only for them.
