Reporting Sexual Abuse

In the state of Texas, everyone who knows about a sexual abuse incident becomes a mandatory reporter. If there is an emergency please call 911 immediately. If you become aware of an incident the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website has information on how to report as well as recognize signs of abuse.
