About CDF-Texas
Every Child Healthy, Educated, Financially Secure

With offices in Houston, Austin and the Rio Grande Valley, CDF-Texas represents the interests of Texas children who cannot vote or speak for themselves.

CDF-Texas raises awareness about the condition of Texas children, connects children and families to programs and services that help meet their needs, and works with community partners statewide, to formulate policy solutions and broad-based support for legislative action on behalf of children.

A Healthy Start
CDF-Texas works to ensure every child a healthy start in life and access to affordable health coverage through CHIP and Medicaid.

CDF-Texas leads statewide efforts to increase enrollment in CHIP and Children's Medicaid through legislative advocacy, community organizing, direct outreach and enrollment.

A Head Start
CDF-Texas formed the Texas Early Childhood Education Coalition (TECEC) to build a system of quality early care and education that prepares children in Texas for success in education and in life.
