Bluebonnet CASA

The first CASA program established in Texas was Dallas CASA in 1980. In 1989, Texas CASA was formed as a result of a merger between the Texas Task Force on Permanency Planning and the existing Texas CASA network

CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives.
