“I commend Tiffany for her hard work and dedication to improving the lives of Texas children and families,” Attorney General Paxton said. “Tiffany represents the best, and it is attorneys like her that make this agency great. I am thankful to her for answering the call to serve the people of Texas.”

One employee from each of the state’s nine child support regions and the Austin office, are chosen for the Assistant Attorney General of the Year awards. Honorees are selected based on recommendations from their peers and supervisors, with a particular focus on employees who go beyond their expected job duties to serve Texas children and families.
