Victim Services

Our Mission Statement:

The Harris County District Attorney's Office is dedicated to making our community safer through evidence-based prosecution and equal justice for all.  This means guaranteeing a fair process to obtain a just result for the victim, the accused and the community in every case. 

HCDAO is guided by a core set of principles that shape policy change and resulted in the implementation of new program initiatives. Because difficult decisions arise every day during the administration of justice, the District Attorney and her staff rely upon these principles in seeking fair and equal justice for the people of Harris County.

Our Mission

To offer support, provide safety and prevent domestic and sexual violence.

 Why We Are Here

We believe everyone has a right to live a life without violence and to walk in their full potential as a human without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, ability, sexual orientation, religion, or political beliefs. 

The Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (HCDVCC) is an accredited 501(c)(3) organization serving the Harris County area.

HCDVCC is guided by charity, safety, honesty, & respect.

We create collaborations that: increase DV victim safety, hold perpetrators of DV criminally accountable, and maximize community resources.

Our Mission
To improve Harris County's response to domestic violence, we lead efforts to build collaborative systems and innovative programs that increase access to services and safety.

Our Vision
We envision a community where all persons have relationships that are safe, healthy, and free from domestic violence.
