They are among those sharing this warning: Domestic violence will not be tolerated in Tarrant County. Not in our neighborhoods, not in our families, and not in silence.
This county will act – and justice will follow.

October is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month.
Fentanyl is deadly – just two milligrams of this synthetic opioid can take a life.
In 2023, DA Phil Sorrells launched a dedicated Narcotics Unit to confront the surge of fentanyl and other drug cases hitting Tarrant County. That team works every day to stop dealers, protect families, and save lives.
Let’s keep spreading this message. Awareness saves lives.
