Who We Are
Texas CASA’s Story
Texas CASA is the statewide association for 74 local CASA programs. We work to connect each part of the CASA community and empower the local programs to perform at their highest level. At the local level, the programs recruit, train and supervise Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers to advocate for children involved in the child welfare system and improve their well-being. At the state level, Texas CASA provides financial support, training and services to help the local programs operate effectively.

The CASA Way
We have an uncompromising belief that we will achieve what others think is impossible, and each of us is an essential part of the solution.
