Editorial: Better care needed for Texans with mental disabilities
July 21st, 2008From the Dallas Morning News:

Come next year, legislators need to invest in more personal ways of caring for suffering Texans. Starting now, the disability services department must step up its game.
… Without these changes, Texas will not protect some of its most fragile citizens.
