Texas Council on Family Violence

The Texas Council on Family Violence offers resources and training for victims and loved ones, as well as those who work with organizations that seek to end family violence. People who use violence can receive help from one of the many Battering Intervention and Prevention Programs (PDF), which are available around the state and are accredited through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. If you or somebody you know is a target for a person using domestic violence, remember that shelters and centers remain open. You can visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline website, call 800-799-7233 (800-787-3224 for TTY) or text "START" to 88788 to find a local facility for immediate safety and to receive information, counseling and other support.
