Texas CASA, together with its local members, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children so that they can thrive in safe, permanent homes. Texas CASA comprises a network of 69 programs in 204 counties with 5,648 CASA volunteers in FY 09 that served 19,818 children.

Over 400 executive directors, program staff, board members, judges, volunteers and other child welfare professionals from across the state are expected to attend the 2010 Texas CASA Conference.  Conference attendees’ levels of experience vary from one of a seasoned veteran to that of a new volunteer or staff member.
