Message from the Texas Attorney General

As Attorney General of Texas, protecting Texas’ children has been one of my top priorities. We have launched new initiatives to crack down on cyber predators that use the internet to prey upon young Texans and we created a Fugitive Unit to arrest parole violating sex offenders — but there is still more work to be done.

Despite what a combination of state, local and federal authorities have done to protect young Texans, too many children fall victim to sexual abuse—and too few of these young victims come forward to report their abuser.

But there is hope. Together, we can combat child sexual abuse—and the secrecy that enables it—-by ensuring that Texas communities are prepared and empowered to combat this horrific crime. In an effort to improve knowledge and communitcation about sexual abuse, the Texas Attorney General’s Office is partnering up with Children’s Advocacy Centers of Texas, Inc. to raise awareness about their “One With Courage” Campaign.
