H.R. No. 600 is a resolution recognizing March 20, 2025, as Domestic Violence Advocacy Day at the Texas State Capitol, honoring The Family Place in Dallas for its nearly 50 years of service to victims of domestic violence. Established in 1976, The Family Place has grown to become the largest family violence service provider in Texas, offering a range of support services including emergency shelters, counseling, job training, and a Child Development Center for young children who have experienced trauma. The resolution highlights the organization's commitment to community engagement and social change, as well as the leadership of Delia Jasso, who has been instrumental in supporting the Hispanic community through the establishment of a dedicated advisory council.
The resolution commends The Family Place and its partners, including the Texas Council on Family Violence and the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, for their exemplary service to survivors of domestic violence. It expresses gratitude for the work of Delia Jasso and recognizes the significant impact The Family Place has had in helping individuals break the cycle of abuse. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for The Family Place as a token of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
