The Texas District and County Attorneys Association (TDCAA) will host the 2025 Prosecuting Domestic Violence & Child Sex Assault Conference on April 8-11, 2025 in Sugar Land, Texas. The conference will feature a 12-hour child welfare track over two days on April 9-10, 2025. More information about the conference is available on the TDCAA website.

 

The Children’s Commission is offering registration scholarships to attorneys to attend the full conference. To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must currently represent the Department of Family and Protective Services in child welfare cases and be in good standing with the State Bar of Texas. Preference may be given to attorneys who have not received a scholarship from the Children’s Commission in the past year.

 

The scholarship will take the form of waived registration fees to attend the in-person conference. The Children’s Commission will coordinate with TDCAA to register scholarship recipients directly. All scholarship recipients must commit to timely completion of a post-event survey from the Children’s Commission. Applicants who meet all the criteria will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis for a scholarship.
