On Tuesday, July 26, 2016, state Sen. José Menéndez (D-26) hosted a counselor roundtable so that the perspective of school mental health providers could be included in Texas legislation to prevent cyberbullying. Called David’s Law after David Molak – an Alamo Heights sophomore who committed suicide due to harassment online and over text – this law is still being written, and Menéndez took the progressive step of gathering the voices of those actually “on the ground.”
