About Us

In 2001, the Supreme Court of Texas, with the support of the State Bar of Texas and civil legal services providers, created the Texas Access to Justice Commission to address the wide disparity in opportunities for low-income individuals to gain access to justice.  The Commission is comprised of members from the law, education, public service and non-profit sectors. The Commission organizes its initiatives and projects through committees and task forces, which explore ways to improve access to civil justice for low-income Texans.
