The Preparation
We are all excited about meeting Leta Youngblood, the unit supervisor for Tarrent County CSCD in adult probation, but having trouble coming up with questions for her. After some serious brainstorming and googling, we came up with this semi-vague list. We hope to better develop our views on the problem and ask some good follow up questions.
