Legal Assistance

The Texas Access to Justice Commission does not provide direct legal services for clients, represent clients in legal matters, maintain a list of pro bono attorney, or match clients with pro bono attorneys.

Individuals seeking free or low-cost legal assistance can find more information at TexasLawHelp, which helps low and moderate income Texans find free legal aid programs in their communities.

For a listing of legal service providers by county, see the 2010 Referral Directory for Low-Income Texans, which can also be found at www.texasbar.com/probono (under “Helpful Websites for the Public”). 

If you do not qualify for legal aid, contact the Lawyer Referral Information Service at 1-800-252-9690. Through the Lawyer Referral Information Service, a prospective client can have a thirty-minute consultation with an attorney for $20.00. At the end of the consultation, the attorney will determine if they will be able to represent the prospective client and discuss the price structure. Please understand that the Lawyer Referral Information Service is not a pro bono or reduced-fee program.
