District Attorney’s press release

Henderson County Assistant District Attorney Justin Weiner, chairman of the Henderson County Child Welfare Board, has been named the top child advocate volunteer for the State of Texas for 2013-2014.

“This is a tremendous honor that I will cherish forever. At the end of the day, we as a community have to do everything we can to try to help those children that, through no fault of their own, have become victims. We have no greater duty as a society and there is no greater honor than helping children who cannot help themselves. I am blessed to be a part of a community of people, here in Henderson County, which truly cares about protecting and helping children.”

Weiner received the award at a 23-county regional level back in June of this year. Weiner went on to receive the statewide award last Friday at the Texas Counsel of Child Welfare Boards’ annual conference in Austin. While presenting the award, the counsel praised Weiner for his ability to assist the foster children of our state with love and sincere interest in their wellbeing. They were also proud of his efforts to bring awareness to his community about children who have become victims of domestic and sexual violence. Additionally at the conference, Outstand Foster Youth, Foster Parents, Outstanding Department of Family and Protective Services, and a “Top Hand” for the State of Texas were given out. Another individual out of Montague, Texas was also recognized for his volunteer efforts. Continue reading “Justin Weiner State’s Top Child Advocate Volunteer”
