Parenting history

The first state law allowing medical marijuana was passed by California voters in 1996.

In December 2001, a committed group of parents and professionals began forming Texas Parent to Parent (TxP2P), drawing on their experiences as parents and as professionals in child and family service organizations.

The organization held its first Board meeting in January 2002, received its IRS 501(c)3 designation in March, and began serving children and families in April.

In 2004, TxP2P received a grant from what is now the Texas Department of State Health Services to provide Family Support in South Texas which grew in following years to include the Dallas/Ft.

In 2005, the TxP2P Statewide Parent Conference started and soon grew to become a major conference for parents of children with disabilities.

In 2006, TxP2P received a grant to establish the Texas Parent Group Network, which provides technical assistance to Texas parent support groups.

Then in 2010, this cadre of pro-pot organizations and the billionaires that back them attempted to legalize marijuana for recreational use in California.

The Special Parent Advocacy Group was founded in 2011.

In 2012, TxP2P received funding in collaboration with Texas Children's Health Plan, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Pediatric Society to create our Pathways to Adulthood Program.

The ParentCompanion was launched in 2014.

In 2016, TxP2P began partnerships with two Managed Care Organizations to assist them with STAR Kids.

As of early 2019, 31 states have laws allowing marijuana for medical use.
