LEGAL AID PROGRAMS
Introduction to Civil Legal Aid
There are three legal service providers, federally-funded through the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), that serve
every county in Texas: Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, Lone Star Legal Aid and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid. These
providers handle a wide range of civil legal issues. The majority of cases handled are family law (40%). Other areas
of high demand include housing, consumer law, employment, public benefits, and issues affecting the elderly. Due to
federal funding restrictions, these providers cannot handle immigration cases, unless the immigrant has been a victim
of violent crime, or criminal cases.
Funding for civil legal services is extremely limited causing legal aid to turn away thousands with serious legal needs
each year. LSC funded programs, and most other programs listed in this directory, must refuse service to any
applicant whose income is above specific federal poverty guidelines.
7
In most situations, the family income must fall below 125% of the federal poverty income guidelines. But in some
situations, the family income can be up to 200%, so even if your household exceeds the 125% guidelines, you should
still apply.

group (such as people with disabilities, children or older individuals) or limit service to a specific type of legal issue
(such as civil rights, consumer, housing, or immigration). These providers may have different income restrictions from
the LSC funded providers. The LSC funded providers are listed first under each county because they provide the most

LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICES
(FULL FEE AND REDUCED FEE)
Lawyer referral services enroll licensed attorneys who pay the necessary registration fee and meet basic guidelines.
Callers referred to a participating attorney by a lawyer referral service receive a half-hour consultation for no more
than $20. After the initial half-hour consultation, should the caller decide to authorize the lawyer to take action on their
legal issue, the caller and lawyer may negotiate fees. These fees may be on a full or reduced fee basis, depending
on the program the attorney is participating in.

INTRODUCTION TO PRO SE
(SELF-HELP) RESOURCES
Major problems impacting access to the justice system in Texas include limited resources, funding restrictions,
proximity to legal services in rural areas, and a rapidly increasing poverty population. The programs listed in this
directory receive many requests for legal assistance, more than any program can accommodate. As a result, these
programs can only assist a fraction of the requests received. Consequently, in some situations, individuals seeking
legal assistance may have no choice other than to represent themselves in a legal matter.
