Victim Services

Mission

The District Attorney’s Office works to seek justice, to advocate for victims’ rights and to work diligently and prevent crime in our communities.

The Victim’s Services Division is a free program established to assist victims of crime so that they may better understand their rights and the resources that are available to them.

The District Attorney’s Office has full time counselors, victim advocates and victim services coordinators that are committed to providing support and assistance to victims of crime. By collaborating with prosecutors, law enforcement, service providers and referral agencies, the Victim Services Division of the District Attorney’s Office is protecting and promoting the rights of crime victims throughout Webb and Zapata Counties.
