Family Violence Unit - Community Agencies
The Houston Police Department cares about you and your safety. If you are in immediate danger call 9-1-1. If you are in a non-emergency situation dial (713) 884-3131. As a community we strive to prevent violence and its consequences to all people, families and communities-so that they are all safe, healthy and free from violence. Everyone deserves relationships free from domestic violence.
Exploring online resources-including hotlines, organizations, and shelters-may also be a helpful way to navigate your situation, especially if you choose to leave your relationship. These resources include hotlines with confidential chat, phone and/or text support; organizations, and shelters.
