*Attorney General Ken Paxton Recognizes October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month*

 

AUSTIN – For the tenth consecutive year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) employees will participate in “Go Purple Day” during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On Thursday, October 17, OAG employees wear purple to symbolize solidarity with survivors, raising awareness against domestic violence.

 

“My office works tirelessly to combat domestic violence and support Texas families. Abuse has a terrible and lasting impact on families and our communities. Across the agency, we provide resources and raise awareness to help survivors find safety and support,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton. “Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected and create a safer Texas for all.”

 

This year, the OAG’s Child Support Division (“OAG-CSD”) relaunched [link removed] [ [link removed] ].
