Texana Group Home Closure

Texana Learning Center in El Campo has shut down a group home serving four residents due to funding cuts by the Texas Legislature. The state’s decision not to fund pay raises for community centers has forced Texana to consolidate services. The center, which helps people with developmental disabilities, is seeking grants to cover staff pay, now reduced after state funding ceased. Residents like Judy Mueller were relocated, and her mother expressed both relief at the move and concern about the future. Local officials are pushing for legislative changes to prevent more closures.
