Texas Pro Bono and Community Legal Resources

Approximately 16.6% of Texas's nearly 25 million residents are currently living at or below the poverty level as outlined by the United States federal government. Thusly, there are many people in the vast, sprawling Lone Star State who are in need of affordable or free legal aid and assistance. Happily, there is no need for low-income Texans to go without qualified legal representation in civil matters; there is a vast network of community legal resources and pro bono services in the state, servicing each and every county.

Texas Pro Bono Services

The Texas Access to Justice Foundation, or TAJF, works to ensure that every Texan has equal access to the civil justice system. This first-rate organization works to assist low-income and indigent Texans with many different types of cases, including ones regarding consumer law, family law, housing and public benefits. Additional assistance and referrals are available from the State Bar of Texas, which helps to coordinate pro bono services in the state as well.
