Texas Association of Family Defense Attorneys 

The Texas Association of Family Defense Attorneys (“TAFDA”) is a group of statewide attorneys focused on the defense of the family. Recently founded on February 22, 2020, TAFDA’s mission is to preserve and advocate for the right to family integrity which is guaranteed by the Texas and United States Constitutions. We fulfill that mission by educating and training attorneys who represent parents and children in parental termination/child protection cases in which the State is involved; by equipping those attorneys with the information, skills, and tools necessary to be successful in the Courtroom; and by participating in the Legislative process to effect changes in the law that are beneficial to families. Through this cooperation, education, and assistance, TAFDA strengthens families through zealous advocacy.
