FY24 Southern Texas ICAC Task Force Program

The Texas Office of the Attorney General Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force will continue to maintain, expand, and improve the Southern Texas ICAC task force's effectiveness in preventing, interdicting, investigating, and prosecuting Internet crimes against children and technology-facilitated child exploitation. The Southern Texas ICAC task force consists of 134 counties within the Southern Texas ICAC Region, which stretches along the Texas coastline and east toward Louisiana. ICAC grant-funded personnel are critical in addressing the increased caseload and providing investigative and forensic assistance to law enforcement in areas where expertise is required. The Texas Office of the Attorney General will continue training ICAC and non-ICAC personnel. Emphasis will continue to be on collaborating with law enforcement and local and federal prosecutors to support the investigation and prosecution of child predators.
