About Us

Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas (CACTX) and our network of children's advocacy centers (CACs) have helped over one million children and their families impacted by abuse achieve safety, justice, and healing in their most significant time of need. As we continue to serve these children, CACTX is casting our vision upstream: to build a future where all children are free from sexual abuse. 

A Partner: Cross-sector collaboration is the cornerstone of the CAC model, and CACTX is focused on bringing a variety of voices to the table and empowering partners and members to create scalable, adaptable strategies to further our efforts.

Galvanizing: CACTX provides the leadership needed to effectuate change and empower communities to make the issue of child sexual abuse a top priority and work together to eradicate child sexual abuse.

Evidence-Informed: Research and evidence-based strategies are at the forefront of everything CACTX does because we know success in the fight against child sexual abuse requires the continual evaluation of current efforts and exploration of new, more effective methods to serve and protect children.

Inescapable: CACTX recognizes the sense of urgency that surrounds the issue of child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse is a preventable problem that demands a solution, and CACTX is working to sustainably support CACs to help young victims while also casting our vision upstream to prevent children from ever being victimized.

Visionary: CACTX aims to create lasting systemic change and is passionate about blazing a path to build a safer Texas for future generations.

Find a Local CAC

Children’s advocacy centers (CACs) operate on the fundamental belief that the best interests of the child victim should be protected as the case proceeds through the investigation and prosecution stages and beyond. CACs offer a child-friendly environment where child victims can feel safe talking about it, in the event something has happened to them.
