The Family Violence Protection Team (FVPT) improves access to law enforcement, counseling, crisis management and legal services for survivors of family violence and their children, and is a collaborative, community response to family and dating violence. We hope to increase batterer accountability, empower survivors to lead violence-free lives and lead the community's zero tolerance policy toward family and dating violence.

Texas law views family violence as a serious danger and threat to society. Assaults and threats to members of a person's family, household or dating relationships are considered family violence. A "member of a family or household" includes people who formerly lived together, as defined by state law. A "dating relationship" means a relationship between individuals who have or had a continuing romantic or intimate relationship, as defined by state law. Travis County is fortunate to have a solid network of public and non-profit organizations that deal with domestic violence.
