Become the Griot

Last legislative session the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault went to battle in support of preventing sexual violence in territory many felt was a little out of bounds. But TAASA showed its dedication to survivors by taking on the Entertainment Industry in Texas and asking legislators to support what might well be a continuous revenue fountain from which providers may partake of indefinitely. Unfortunately, an injunction kept TAASA and other provider agencies from benefiting from legislation that is supported by many in our community. TAASA insists that HB1751 is not a sin tax; that it was never meant to "impact patronage" (TAASA Connection) but the injunction faced constitutional questions that may soon by answered by Judge Jenkins. We will continue to update you as soon as word is handed down from the court.
