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?

Early giving starts NOW for Amplify Austin πŸ’œ

When you give to Texas Advocacy Project, you are not just making a donation. You are helping a survivor secure a protective order. You are helping a parent protect their children. You are helping someone reclaim their name, their safety, and their future.

Last year alone, our team provided life-saving legal services to thousands of Texans experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking. The need has not slowed down, and neither have we.

Early giving sets the momentum. It tells survivors across Texas that help is already on the way.

Make your gift today and be part of the movement building safer homes, stronger families, and justice that actually looks like justice.

πŸ”— Give early. Give boldly. Give hope.
