Best New Family-Friendly Government Offices

Office of Child Representation; Office of Parental Representation

Behind the bureaucratic-sounding names of these newly minted Travis County offices is a decidedly down-home community of caring public servants. The offices provide legal representation for parents and children involved in Child Protective Services cases, a good-government endeavor that aims to strengthen its accountability to we the people while helping little and big folks in need of a hand.
