The Texas Civil Commitment Office is a small state agency tasked with the huge responsibility of providing intensive supervision and treatment to sexually violent predators. TCCO recognizes that the civil commitment of sexually violent predators to long-term, comprehensive, and offense-specific supervision and treatment is necessary for the protection of the citizens of the State of Texas. TCCO's administration is focused on the agency's equally important responsibilities for public safety, supervision, and treatment.

The TCCO's mission is to enhance public safety by developing and implementing strategic management policies to protect the citizens of Texas and enhance protection of victims and potential victims through research-based management of civilly committed sexually violent predators.

The Texas Civil Commitment Office (TCCO) supports and encourages clients to develop and maintain positive social support. Individuals who are a positive social support are those who encourage self-control strategies, promote pro-social values and behaviors, encourage and support the treatment process, and challenge and report high-risk behaviors. The goal is to assist clients to live a lifestyle that is incompatible to offending behavior, with the ultimate goal of no more victims. 

TCCO presents this video, The Importance of Prosocial Collateral Contacts, which will give you more information on the importance and the role of being a positive social support.
