Texas Lawyers Care

Texas Lawyers Care is the pro bono/legal services support project of the State Bar of Texas. Established in 1982 to advocate on behalf of low-income Texans on poverty issues of statewide importance, Texas Lawyers Care (TLC) is the only statewide organization providing training to local legal aid program staff and private bar attorneys, relating exclusively to the legal rights of poor Texans. TLC provides support, technical assistance, training, resource materials,and publications to staff and volunteers of all providers of legal services to the poor in Texas.

TLC's annual statewide Poverty Law Conference, Pro Bono Coordinators Retreat, and LegalFront newsletter continue to provide a foundation for the delivery of quality legal services in Texas. The staff also serves as the staff for the Texas Access to Justice Commission.

Texas Lawyers Care works closely with the State Bar Board Legal Services Committee and the Legal Services to the Poor in Civil Matters Committee of the State Bar of Texas to encourage the involvement of all Texas attorneys, as well as other professionals, in the delivery of legal services to the poor.
