The Montgomery County-based Court Appointed Special Advocates celebrated its 30th anniversary on April 27 and officially celebrated the opening of its new headquarters at 505 N. Main St., Conroe.

CASA child advocates are appointed by judges to watch over abused and neglected children, according to the organization's website. The group serves 100% of Montgomery County children picked up by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, according to its 2020 impact report.

Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough gave CASA special recognition at the April 26 session of commissioners court and congratulated the group on its mission.
