The Comal County Commissioners Court read and approved a proclamation recognizing October 2025 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and encouraged local support for victim services and allied professionals.
A representative of the local crisis center briefed commissioners after the proclamation, saying the center served more than 1,300 clients in the past year and that 70% of shelter residents were children. The speaker said the center provided over 36,000 services—ranging from shelter and counseling to legal advocacy—and expects to receive keys to a new 90‑bed shelter before the end of the year.
