DPS Increasing
July 4tn
AUSTIN - The Texas Department of Public Safety
(DPS) will increase DWI patrols for a 12-day period that
includes the July 4th holiday. From June 26 - July 7, DPS
troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at
times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent.
“As Texans make their plans for the Fourth of July.
DPS is urging everyone to enjoy the holiday responsi-
bly,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “Driving while
impaired can have deadly consequences, so Texans who
plan to drink alcohol should always designate a sober
driver or choose alternate forms of transportation. Dur-
ing the holiday, DPS troopers will be increasing patrols
to help keep travelers safe and take dangerous drivers
off the road.”
During the 2014 July 4th enforcement period, DPS
troopers made more than 1,050 DWI arrests during the
enforcement period. Of those arrests, 219 were the direct
result of a Texas Departm ent of Transportation (TxDOT)
grant, which allowed increased patrols in high-risk loca-
tions during times when alcohol-related crashes are most
frequent. During the same period, DPS enforcement also
DWI Patrols for
Holiday
resulted in more than 15,000 speeding citations and more
than 2,500 seat belt/child safety seat citations.
According to TxDOT, in 2014 more than 1,000 people
in Texas were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving a
driver who was under the influence of alcohol, accounting
for 29 percent of the year’s total traffic fatalities.

Court Appointed Special Advocates

What does a COURT
APPOINTED SPECIAL
ADVOCATE (CASA)
Volunteer do?
CASA volunteers are
simply dedicated and
devoted women and men
willing to advocate for
the best interest of an
abused child. CASA
volunteers are given sup-
port, guidance, tools, and
training from profession-
als in the field to help
them understand and
work effectively within
the child welfare system. Once a volunteer has com-
pleted training (30 hours) he or she is sworn in as an
officer of the court by one of our local District Judges.
Every year the state of Texas removes thousands of
children from their homes because of abuse and neglect.
The welfare system is an overburdened system. A CASA
volunteer on a case affords the judge a comprehensive
picture of the best interest of the child.
CASA is the only volunteer organization that em-
powers everyday citizens as appointed members of the
court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused
Sr
>V
and neglected children
often slip through the
cracks among hundreds
of current cases. CASA
volunteers change that.
Appointed by judges,
CASA volunteers typi-
cally handle just one
case at a time—and
commit to staying on
that case until the child
is placed in a safe, per-
manent home. While
others may come and
go, CASA volunteers
provide that one con-
stant that children need in order to thrive. Are you ready
to stand up for a child who needs you? As A CASA
Volunteer you have the power to change a child's life.
The Center CASA office at 131 Porter St. wifi begin
a new volunteer training for Shelby and San Augustine
Counties.
July 7, 9, 14, and 16 wifi be classroom training 3-7
pm. Courtroom observation wifi be July 15 at 10am.
