The Texas
Access to Justice Foundation, created by the Supreme Court of Texas in 1984,
is the largest state-based funding source for the provision of civil legal
aid in Texas. The organization is committed to the vision that all Texans
will have equal access to justice, regardless of their income. The
Foundation administers a variety of funding sources, which are earmarked to
assist nonprofit organizations in providing legal aid to more than 150,000
Texas families each year.
Texas Legal Services
Center (TLSC) is a statewide legal aid nonprofit serving some of Texas' most
vulnerable populations since 1977. Through its use of non-traditional
delivery methods—like legal hotlines, online chat services, and pop-up
clinics utilizing video conferencing technology, TLSC is able to reach
Texans who would not otherwise have access to legal services. To learn more
