A firearm in an abusive situation increases the risk of homicide by 500%. That’s why protective orders restrict access to firearms under both Texas and federal law, and why consistent firearm surrender protocols matter so much for survivor safety.

But access still varies by county. In Texas, too many communities are operating without clear surrender protocols, even though we know they save lives.

Our latest Protective Orders in Texas study highlights where progress is happening and where gaps remain, so communities can strengthen the systems that keep families safe.

Domestic violence is not rare. 
1 in 3 Texas women will experience it. 
Our response should reflect that reality.

Standardizing access to protective order assistance can save lives. If you are a survivor of stalking, human trafficking, dating or domestic violence, child abuse, or sexual assault and the county you live in does not provide legal help through your local prosecutor's office, we're here for you - call us at 800.374.HOPE or fill out our online intake form.

This weekend marked our first-ever Teen Ambassadors of Hope training in Dallas, and we were inspired by a room full of thoughtful, focused young leaders ready to make a difference. A special thank you to Meg Poag, CEO of Mission Squared, for sharing her leadership insights and encouraging this incredible group as they begin their fundraising journey.

Together, our Austin + Dallas Teen Ambassadors set a goal of raising $10,000 to support survivors across Texas, and they are already halfway there πŸŽ‰

Want to help them cross the finish line?

Your encouragement helps young leaders turn compassion into action.
