Advocacy Outreach has funds to help replace personal identification that was lost in the Bastrop County fires. Items that may be replaced include birth certificates, including the birth certificates of children, passports, driver's licenses, Texas Identification cards and social security cards. Some of these items are replaced without cost but individuals may need help acquiring the documentation they need to replace them (social security cards, for example, require two forms of original identification). Call 281-4180 for information.
