The Central Texas Dispute Center serves Caldwell, Comal, Hays and Guadalupe counties in the areas of community, civil, family, divorce and child custody disputes. One hundred-eighty plus cases are mediated annually and each court case that is settled by the Central Texas Dispute Resolution Center saves the county $5,000 a day in court time. The Hays County Commissioners Court proclaimed October as Mediation Awareness Month. Photo courtesy of Hays County.
