Senate Resolution No. 184 recognizes the 40th anniversary of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Central Texas, celebrating its significant contributions to the welfare of abused and neglected children in the region. CASA originated in 1977 in King County, Washington, initiated by Judge David Soukup, and has since expanded into a national network of over 90,000 volunteers across 49 states and the District of Columbia. CASA of Central Texas became part of this network in 1985, providing vital advocacy for children in foster care during court proceedings in Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe, and Hays Counties.

The resolution commends the dedicated staff and 169 trained volunteers of CASA of Central Texas for their ongoing commitment to ensuring that children receive compassionate care and a safe home. It acknowledges their role as informed partners in the legal system, making recommendations that serve the best interests of the children they represent. The Senate extends its best wishes for the organization's continued success and instructs that a copy of the resolution be prepared in honor of this milestone.
