The State Bar of Texas is committed to ensuring that all Texans, regardless of income, have access to our courts. The Legal Access Department provides support to legal service programs and volunteer attorneys.

The Legal Access Division sponsors the Poverty Law Conference and the Pro Bono Coordinators Retreat annually. Additionally, LAD offers six task forces for legal aid and pro bono attorneys in a variety of practice areas.

TLTV is a State Bar of Texas program designed to develop and assist with pro bono legal clinics throughout the state for military veterans who otherwise cannot afford or do not have access to the legal services they need.

The Pro Bono College recognizes attorneys who have far exceeded the State Bar’s aspirational pro bono goal in their efforts to address the vast unmet legal needs of the poor.
