Survivors of domestic violence and women’s advocates used a Tuesday evening town hall to urge elected officials to reverse a disturbing local trend.

Democratic U.S. Reps. Joaquin Castro and Lloyd Doggett, who organized the event, offered brief opening remarks but said they were primarily there to listen.
