Guardianship 101: A GAL or CASA volunteer is often appointed in cases where allegations of abuse, neglect, or juvenile delinquency could lead to the removal of the child from his or her home. In these cases the job of the GAL is to represent the best interests of the minor child, in case they differ from the position of the state or the interests of the parents or guardians. For information about how you can volunteer as a CASA, see http://texascasa.org/ If you need help or have questions concerning guardianship, call us today at 210-368-9708 and schedule a consultation.
