ABOUT CASA
In 1976, David Soukup, a superior court judge in Seattle, became very concerned about making decisions that had a significant impact on dependent children’s futures, so he created a plan to train and appoint community volunteers to research the best interests of children in cases of abuse and neglect.
​
District Judges bear an enormous responsibility in deciding what is best to facilitate a child's growth. An abused or neglected child enters a judge's court through no fault of his or her own, and judges have a limited time frame with which to decide that child's future. CASA Volunteers can provide judges with the information they need to make the best decision for that child. A CASA Volunteer will bring continuity to cases and facilitate necessary services for timely, safe, permanent placement for the children of Bee, Live Oak, McMullen, & San Patricio Counties. CASA of Bee, Live Oak & McMullen Counties Also Serving San Patricio County will provide exclusive advocacy for each child and his or her best interests. When a CASA Volunteer is utilized in Child Protective Services cases, that child is ushered through the system more expeditiously, therefore saving Texas taxpayers money.
​
