Court Appointed Special Advocates ® (CASAs) are community volunteers who are trained to act as advocates for abused and / or neglected children that have been brought into the protective custody of the State of Texas (foster care). CASA volunteer advocates are sworn in by the District Judge and take an oath to keep the best interests of the child or children they serve as their focus and to maintain confidentiality. CASA in the Heart of Texas trains and supports advocates to speak up for abused or neglected children in the foster care system in Brown, Comanche, and Mills Counties.
