Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on accepting Texas Bar Foundation grant in the amount of $15,000 to support Judge Larson's Family Reunification program.
Background
Application for this grant was approved by Commissioners Court on January 7, 2020. The background for the application request that was provided is below:
The Texas Bar Foundation solicits charitable contributions and provides funding to enhance the rule of law and the system of justice in Texas, especially for programs that relate to the administration of justice; ethics in the legal profession; legal assistance for the needy; the encouragement of legal research, publications and forums; and the education of the public. A Texas Bar Foundation employee asked Williamson County to apply for funding, after hearing Judge Larson's presentation at Commissioners Court on the new Family Reunification Program to improve outcomes in the CPS cases. The grant funding will help provide attorneys to children and families involved in the CPS system.
