Legislative Advocacy Guide

Legislators want to hear from their constituents. With the engagement of CASA volunteers across
Texas, our priority bills are much more likely to be successful. Your advocacy efforts are key in
helping to shape the laws that affect our state’s most vulnerable population. By speaking with one
voice, we can have a powerful impact on the child protection system by representing the best
interests of children from the courtroom to the Capitol!

The Legislative Advocacy Guide covers:
