  The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and TexProtects invite you to join our Child Abuse Prevention Month event featuring State Representative John Lujan.

  Join us on April 5th at 9:00 A.M. at the Texas Capitol South Steps in downtown Austin as we hear from speakers and plant a pinwheel garden to raise awareness around child abuse and neglect prevention efforts in Texas and across the nation!

  April is designated every year as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. During this time, we recognize the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect. It is also a time to spotlight the work being done across our state to support families and prevent children from experiencing the trauma of abuse or neglect.

  Preventing child abuse cannot be accomplished by one community, agency, or system alone. We must work together to strengthen our communities and create accessible support for families and children to thrive. Join us as we gather to emphasize the importance of family support services and child abuse and neglect prevention.

Don’t forget to wear blue, the official color of Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we hope to see you at the Capitol!

Uvalde Together Resiliency Center’s Jesus “Jesse” Ramon LPC will be the guest speaker at a ceremony this Thursday at the Uvalde American Legion 479 Hall at 10 AM honoring Vietnam Veterans.   

Ramon contacted the Uvalde Hesperian and discussed the issues and challenges Vietnam Veterans continue to struggle with decades after returning home from war.

“We need to honor our veterans. I am going to invite them to come to counseling,” 

“We have our freedom because of them. I am going to talk about the importance of their service and how it has affected our mental health,” he said.

He continued saying that we need to educate the community on how we can honor and help them.

“I want to use the opportunity to connect and help our veterans and see if by working with their issues they can help us rebuild our community by then having a new purpose

I am going to have a heart to heart conversation not just a presentation,” Ramon said

Ramon went on to say the Uvalde Together Resiliency Center wants to help Vietnam Veterans and all veterans with issues like PTSD and other challenges they continue to face.

Carson Jeffrey will be taking the House Pasture Stage tonight in Concan kicking off his spring 2025 tour featuring Wyatt Weaver band. Jeffery will be playing music from his album, Fair Weather Cowboy.

  The 25-year old, Texas A&M grad released his third album Fair Weather Cowboy on November 18, 2022.

“The ten-track record gives fans a deeper glimpse into this cowboy’s soul. He penned every song showcasing themes about growth, loneliness, and letting loose. Fans can hear a taste of the new project on “Cow Pissin,” the current single, that is available now on all streaming platforms.

  Singer-songwriter Carson Jeffrey is a full-time, authentic to the core Cowboy and a part-time musician that Texans just can’t get enough of. During the week, the Cat Spring rancher disconnects completely from the music world, opting instead to fill his days building barns, fixing fences, mowing pastures and roping calves.  When the weekend comes he converts to a road warrior playing more than 100 shows a year throughout the Southern region.  Carson regularly sells out college bar mainstays like The Tap in College Station and The Blue Light in Lubbock,” according to bio information from the artist’s website

Tickets for tonight’s concert available here.

Spring Break at House Pasture!

We’ve got a delicious menu waiting for you—perfect for kicking off a night of partying, spring break style!
