SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 524
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center and
to honor the memory of Colton Turner Pelfrey on the occasion of
Child Abuse Prevention Month; and
WHEREAS, The Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center
is a nonprofit organization that provides a safe environment in
which children can disclose abuse and receive professional
mental health services; the center works with investigative and
protective agencies to ensure comprehensive and conscientious
support to children in need; and
WHEREAS, Colton Turner Pelfrey was a young toddler whose
life was tragically cut short; though it is impossible to change
the circumstances of his brief life or to fully heal the

special play area that will be known as Colton's Way and will
benefit the children who pass through the center's doors in the
future; and
WHEREAS, The renovated play rooms were made possible
through an outpouring of support from the community; the
dedication of this special play area is taking place April 17,

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th

behalf of children and for honoring the memory of Colton Turner
Pelfrey through the dedication of the Colton's Way play area;
