In the wake of a recent killing in Travis County, there has been a renewed call for greater mental health resources in the area. This is particularly concerning given that the accused murderer, Keziah Titus, had previously been arrested on misdemeanor family violence charges and was released on bond with the condition of receiving mental health supervision.
Despite this, it is unclear what level of mental health services Titus received during her time out of custody. However, it is clear that there are limited resources available to address the growing mental health challenges faced by individuals in Travis County. The urgent need for a mental health diversion center in the area cannot be overstated.
While specific details on this facility are not yet available, it is hoped that it will provide much-needed support and care to those struggling with mental health issues. It remains to be seen what role Titus’s lack of access to adequate mental health resources played in her violent actions, but one thing is certain: addressing this issue must be a top priority for officials and community leaders alike.
