Williamson County CASA

We advocate for abused and neglected children in the Williamson County juvenile court system. Our vision is for every child to be in a safe and permanent home.

A child is entered into the court system as a result of abuse or neglect in the home. A Williamson County CASA judge assigns a CASA advocate to that child and the advocate then becomes responsible for the welfare of that child as they move through the system. 

That means managing and documenting all aspects of the case, making recommendations to the court on permanent living arrangements, communicating consistently with the child to ensure their best interests are being met for the short and long-term and remaining actively engaged until the court discharges the case. 

CASA volunteers are not therapists, or official legal counsel. CASA volunteers are, in essence, a friend and responsible advocate with the goal of securing a solid home for a child so that they have a fighting chance to become a fulfilled, happy adult.
