Texas Opioid Settlement Funds — What Families Should Know

What are the opioid settlement funds?

• Texas received billions of dollars from national opioid lawsuits

• Funds are meant to support prevention, treatment, recovery, and family stability

• Money is distributed over multiple years to communities across the state

Why this matters for grandparents raising grandchildren

• Many kinship families are created due to addiction, overdose, incarceration, or instability

• Grandparents often step in with little financial or emotional support

• These funds were designed to reduce the hidden impact on children and caregivers

How the funds may help families

• Mental health and counseling services

• Substance abuse treatment and recovery programs

• Support for children impacted by parental addiction

• Community programs focused on stability, prevention, and family healing

Important reality

• Many caregivers do not realize these funds exist

• Support may be available through local agencies, nonprofits, and community programs

• Advocacy helps ensure families raising children receive attention and resources
