Governor Greg Abbott has signed our bill to mandate training for judges on family violence! This is our first bill to pass the finish line!
In partnership with AnNisa Hope Center, we’re excited to see the Judicial Awareness and Training Act (JATA) become law, equipping judges with the knowledge to understand and tackle family violence.
With this law, every courtroom becomes a safer space for survivors. Cheers to this monumental milestone!
Thank you to Senator Carol Alvarado and Representative Lacey Hull for championing this cause and all survivors of family violence.
And, a special thanks to our coalition members for their time and support!
