LEGAL AID PROGRAMS
Introduction to Civil Legal Aid
The federal government, through the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), funds three legal services programs that
serve every county in Texas: Legal Aid Of NorthWest Texas, Lone Star Legal Aid and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid. The
three LSC funded programs provide a wide range of civil legal services. Nearly 40% of the cases handled are family
law cases. Most other cases are in the areas of housing, consumer law, employment, public benefits, or issues
affecting the elderly. Due to federal restrictions, these LSC funded programs cannot handle criminal cases or
immigration cases, except for representation of immigrants who have been victims of violent crime.
Funding for legal services programs is extremely limited. Legal aid programs must turn away many with serious legal
needs due to limited resources. LSC funded programs, and most other programs included 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% of the poverty guidelines. So even if your household exceeds the
125% guidelines, you should still apply.

The programs listed include LSC-funded legal services programs, followed by programs that either serve a specific
client 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 programs may have income restrictions that
differ from LSC-funded programs. LSC-funded programs are listed first under each county because they provide the
most extensive civil legal service.

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.
