Empowering life beyond trauma & addiction
The Legacy Family Court Foundation provides funding for Dallas County specialty courts to support children, end addiction, and keep families together.
In Dallas County, thousands of children living in state custody need stable, permanent homes to help them thrive. Adults who’ve lost their parental rights due to substance addiction need rehabilitation to stay out of jail & reunite with their children.
Specialty Family & Drug Courts work to address the trauma of family separation and redress the damage of addiction.
The courts offer specialized programming & resources, oversee the care of these children, and facilitate the rehabilitation of adults whose parental rights have been terminated. The Legacy Family Court Foundation provides the courts unrestricted funding courts need to meaningfully support program participants.
Every child deserves a chance to thrive alongside a loving family.
Every parent deserves a second chance at a life with their children.
Every addiction is worth healing.
Supporting Courts that Care
Child Protection and Permanency Court
The Child Protection and Permanency Court serves to find permanent care placement for children who are in CPS custody following the termination of parental rights.
The court oversees the care of these children, finding them permanent homes, providing them with school supplies and holiday gifts, and offering the support and resources they need to get on solid ground before embarking on their higher education or career journeys.
Legacy Family Court
302nd District
The Legacy Family Court of Dallas County provides a non-adversarial path to family reunification for adults whose children have been removed from their custody due to addiction-related allegations of abuse or neglect.
The court funds sober living arrangements, outpatient treatment, regular drug testing, incentives for voluntary participation, and other resources that help these adults develop the health, stability & skills needed to regain parental rights.
Support changes everything.
“Substance abuse takes a significant toll on Texas families and taxpayers. Specialized Texas Drug Courts, like Legacy Family Court, are producing significant improvements in outcomes, with fewer re-arrests, fewer re-incarcerations, and lower costs.”
