Years ago, a group of parents crossed paths while battling for our families’ futures. At first, our struggles seemed unrelated, but we soon realized they shared a common root. That realization ignited a fire in us.
We banded together, pouring our own time, money, and skills into helping others. But the demand for support exploded, and it became clear we needed more structure to keep up. That’s when Advanced Texas Advocate was born, forged in the heat of that challenge, built to stand strong for families like ours across our great State of Texas.

Our Journey: Milestones in Community Advocacy
Since our founding, we have dedicated ourselves to advocating for children and families. From providing vital resources to raising awareness about child welfare issues, each step has strengthened our impact. Our commitment to transformative support has guided us through significant milestones, including the establishment of community programs and partnerships fostered over the years.
One of these amazing partnerships we are announcing is with the renowned Dr. Brooks McKenzie.
