Jane's Due Process is the ONLY statewide organization that helps girls under 18 make their own reproductive decisions, by providing direct legal services and helping girls obtain a judicial bypass. The bypass is required for girls who wish to get an abortion without being required to notify a parent. Many of these teens face abusive home lives and telling a parent would place their lives or well-being in jeopardy. Jane's has a confidential hotline that is operated 24 hours a day, and all its services are free. Jane's never asks clients for their full names or phone numbers, and they never call you unless you ask them to and give them a safe time and place to do it. They provide transportation and free lawyers, file the court papers you'll need, and help with everything else involved. They're a great resource--just call 1-866-WWW-JANE (it's a free call).

My mother placed my sister with LSSS 26 years ago for adoption. I found out about it 2 years ago and went to LSSS and spoke with a wonderful counselor, Brandy Bentley, and have since contacted and met our sister as of last Thanksgiving. They keep excellent records of everything at LSSS which make is easier in the search. They set up the inital written contact and handled it until we were ready to do correspondance on our own. They provide counseling, if needed, once face to face contact is made. Our church also works with LSSS and highly recommends it to couples looking to adopt.

I hope you're not in need of Safeplace services (shelter, counseling), but if you are you should certainly give them a call. Their hotline is open 24 hours a day. I also wanted to mention that this is a great place to donate locally or volunteer your time. As far as domestic violence programs go, this is a very good one and we should be proud to have it in Austin. The shelter itself used to be twice the size it is now, but much of it had to close because of a loss in funding. Please support it.

If you have a Science and Nature fan in your family then you must go see this place! This is a great place for learning and there are tons of activities for the children to do. My daughter just went on a fieldtrip there and I had not been there in years and there are quite a few things that have changed since I last went. The children from her class had a great time exploring and pond and going on a dinosaur dig. They also got to have presentations by the Centers employess (or volunteers) on different wildlife and pond animals. It was an exciting time. The parking is under the freeway bridge and you do have to walk up a lot of stairs. The staff (volunteers possibly) were knowledgeable and enjoyed teaching the children. We happened to go on a very cold day so since it was outside it was not as fun for the parents!

This has been our church for about a year now. We absolutely love it here. There is a genuine sense of community here. The church is very open and receptive to newcomers. They also have some fantastic programs for the family, married couples, etc. Our youngest daughter was baptized here and our oldest daughter is about to have First Communion here. We recently got a new priest to our church, Father Bill, and he is simply a wonderful addition. He is funny at times, and can have the whole congregration laughing! We did not regularly attend church before becoming parish members here. Now, we are active in our church.

Much like owner CJ's other bar, Darwin's, Touche is another welcome stop on the long stretch of Sixth street bars. It is average size for a Sixth street bar but like Darwin's has a much more laid back and friendlier atmosphere than most of the bars on the street.
Recently they built a small stage for South by Southwest which now goes mostly unused but when it is used you can sometimes catch some pretty amazing acts here.
The bar staff and door staff are very friendly, quick to become your friends and within a moment or two of hanging out here you will find yourself making it a point to stop by and see them you are downtown.
The drinks are strong, the selection is excellent. They don't serve food here, but then again who needs food in a BAR!! The music is never too loud but never too quiet either and if you don't like it just tell the bartender and she can probably find anything you like.
This is a great place to take a break from Sixth street or to start your night. The people will become your friends quickly and have you coming back every weekend. Stop in for a quick drink and you just might make a friend for life.

I visited CrossPointe for the first time in 2000. It was a perfect fit for my family, and I've called it home since. We really enjoy the worship, and the friends.

This was my first experience at a gentlemen's club since my eighteenth birthday, six years ago. I just moved to Austin six months ago and I have always heard the advertisements on the raidio but just never got around to coming down to check it out. I had an amazing time!!! All the women are beautiful and I'm sure they all remember me. I'm the guy that the DJ kept picking on for it being my first time! Haha.
Anyways, I highly recommend visiting Palazios Gentlemen's Club on a regular basis and I guarantee you won't be disappointed one bit... When you go, make sure you take care of STERLING for me, she is AMAZING and definately worth everything you got...

These folks helped me quit smoking without putting on weight, fixed a bad case of back strain, and did it all for less than the price of a movie and burger. Unbelieveable.
And follow-up! These folks called me up later to make sure the treatment took. Really excellent service, and I keep going back to the price, because it's amazingly low.
Pros: Quiet clinic, individualized treatment
Cons: None
