Abstract	This Kids Count report details trends in the well-being of children in Texas. The statistical portrait is based on indicators in the areas of: (1) family and community population; (2) economic resources, security, and opportunity; (3) early care and education; (4) school success; (5) teens at risk; (6) physical, social, and emotional health; (7) hunger and nutrition; and (8) safety and personal security. Each of these core sections includes descriptions of trend data for the state of Texas, as well as point-in-time comparisons among the six largest counties where the majority of Texans live. County rankings for nine of the indicators are appended. Among the findings of the report are the following: (1) an increase in children living in single-parent families, especially with single fathers; (2) an increase in the number of children in subsidized child care; (3) a decrease in juvenile violent crime; (4) a decrease in teen pregnancy but an increase in births to single teens; (5) improvement in infant mortality but an increase in low birth weight births; (6) decline in food stamp participation but an increase in WIC program participation; and (7) an increase in number of children in family violence shelters.
