About this listen

This is the official podcast presented by the Texas Association of Specialty Courts where we talk all things related to Texas specialty court programs. This show was previously titled The PodTASC but was rebranded to Justice & Recovery in November 2024. Episodes feature guest speakers with various specialty court experiences. We go deep on backgrounds and many characteristics on what it takes to operate a successful specialty court in Texas. The Texas Association of Specialty Court Courts (TASC) builds and strengthens Texas specialty courts through collaboration, advocacy and education. TASC was founded to: (1) Increase local and statewide political, media and community awareness of the existence and success of drug courts; (2) Support legislation authorizing funding for the operation of drug courts; and (3) Provide support for jurisdictions wanting to establish drug courts. Justice & Recovery is currently hosted by Liz Wiggins, the Communications Director on the TASC Board.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved. Political Science Politics & Government
