Texas Aids in Fight Against Human Trafficking and Funding Gaps
San Antonio focuses on human trafficking as a major crime linked to Texas role in national trade. Studies show 25 percent of victims in Texas, 20 percent of US victims pass through Texas, with over 2,000 sex trafficking incidents reported 2008 to 2010 including about 1,200 adults and 1,000 minors. Officials note underreporting, praise Texas laws and grants, but a $1 million federal grant ended and state efforts seek renewal.
