This is an excerpt of this online brochure
Family violence programs are excellent resources to use when helping
victims develop a safety plan. These programs are also a source of
information and support for you. Services provided by programs for
domestic violence victims may include shelter, a crisis hotline, referral to
emergency medical care, counseling services, emergency transportation,
legal assistance, employment assistance and more.
A directory of Texas programs for domestic violence victims can be
found at
www.tcfv.org or by calling the Texas Council on Family
Violence at (800) 525-1978. There is also a TTY line at (888) 23 9-9035
for people who are Deaf, Deaf-Blind or Hard of Hearing.
