Fellows Program Allows HBF to Support Community, Profession
The Houston Bar Foundation is now in its 30th year of service to
the community and the profession. The success of the Foundation is
due in large part to the commitment of HBA members who contribute
$20 of their yearly dues to the Foundation. In addition, the Fellows
Program provides the opportunity for long-term giving.
The Fellows Program provides members the opportunity to
increase their contributions to achieve both short-term and long-term
goals for the Foundation, as well as their own charitable giving plan.
This is an outline of the Fellows Program:
A. A Fellow pledges $2,000, payable in a lump sum or $200 per
year for ten years.
B. Once the original $2,000 commitment is met, a Fellow will
have the opportunity to become a Life Fellow by continuing to donate
$200 per year for ten years or making an additional lump payment of
$2,000.
C. Once the Life Fellow commitment is met, a member may
become a Sustaining Life Fellow by continuing to donate $200 per
year for 10 years or making a third lump payment of $2,000.
D. Once the Sustaining Life Fellow Commitment is met, a member may become a Continuing Sustaining Life Fellow by continuing to
donate $200 per year for five years or making a fourth lump payment
of $1,000.
The Houston Bar Association staff handles all administrative
functions for the Houston Bar Foundation, keeping administrative costs
to a minimum.
The goal of the Houston Bar Foundation is to become self-sustaining, with the ability to maintain and expand existing programs, while
adding new programs as needs arise. A tax-deductible contribution to
the Houston Bar Foundation is one of the best investments HBA members can make in the future of their profession and their community.
For more information about the Fellows program, please contact Kay
Sim at 713-759-1133.

Grants Allow Expansion of Veterans Legal Initiative
Grants from the Texas Access to Justice Foundation and the Texas

the Veterans Legal Initiative to 17 counties in Texas, providing legal
services to veterans in Bell, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Grimes, Hardin, Harris, Jefferson, Liberty, McLennan, Montgomery,
Orange, San Jacinto, Travis, Walker and Waller counties. This area
represents a population of nearly 500,000 veterans. The Houston Bar
Foundation partners with a coalition of bar associations including the
Jefferson County Bar Foundation, Fort Bend Lawyers Care, Baylor Law
School and the Austin Bar Foundation.
The Veterans Legal Initiative (VLI) hosts free clinics for veterans
every Friday afternoon at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center.
The VLI also hosts one to two Saturday clinics in outlying areas each
month. In addition, the VLI sponsors programs at Houston Stand Down
and at two residential facilities for veterans, U.S. VETS at Midtown
Terrace and DeGeorge at Union Station.
Any veteran, or spouse of a deceased veteran, can receive legal
advice and counsel at clinics. Veterans who qualify and need continued
representation in a civil matter will be assigned a volunteer attorney
through the Houston Volunteer Lawyers. Since the current VLI begain

Programs Funded by Houston Bar Foundation in 2011
HOUSTON VOLUNTEER
LAWYERS PROGRAM
The Houston Bar Foundation provides an annual grant to Houston
Volunteer Lawyers, a service of the Houston Bar Association. Houston
Volunteer Lawyers uses these funds, which represent approximately
one-third of its operating budget, to provide critical legal services to
low-income Houstonians. The Houston Bar Association established
Houston Volunteer Lawyers in 1981 to fill a gap in the provision of
legal services to those people who could not qualify for traditional legal
aid programs because they were working to support their families. In reality, however, their income would not cover even their most basic legal
needs, such as child custody, landlord/tenant issues and probate matters.
Through Houston Volunteer Lawyers, volunteer private attorneys handle
cases pro bono for eligible, low-income clients.
2012 was an important year for Houston Volunteer Lawyers. Among
other things, Houston Volunteer Lawyers launched a one-of-a-kind
online Volunteer Portal, adopted a new name, slogan, logo, and website,
created the first medical-legal partnership in Houston in conjunction
with Texas Children’s Hospital, expanded its many existing programs to
provide legal aid to a diverse group of individuals in Harris County and
the surrounding areas, and made significant process changes to provide
clients with more efficient and robust legal aid.
Houston Volunteer Lawyers received 29,625 calls for assistance in
2012, and provided in-person, one-on-one legal advice to 4,459 applicants at no charge. Over 1,000 of the persons helped in 2012 were
United States veterans or spouses of deceased veterans. In addition,
Houston Volunteer Lawyers assisted 7,704 pro se litigants at the Harris
County Family Courthouse.
In 2012, 1,508 volunteer lawyers logged 14,164 hours on pro bono
cases through Houston Volunteer Lawyers, and an additional 1,936
hours volunteering at legal advice clinics. At a rate of $200 per hour,
the time donated by Houston Volunteer Lawyers volunteers represents a
benefit to low-income persons seeking legal assistance of $3,220,000.
Houston Volunteer Lawyers assists eligible clients with a broad array
of civil matters, including guardianships, probate, estate planning, IRS
individual income tax disputes, landlord/tenant, homeownership matters, bankruptcy and family law. Some of Houston Volunteer Lawyers’
notable programs are:
• Saturday Clinics. Houston Volunteer Lawyers conducted twicemonthly Saturday Legal Advice Clinics in 2012. This provides clients
an opportunity to apply for the Houston Volunteer Lawyers program
and receive free legal advice on a walk-in basis at least every other
week. Houston Volunteer Lawyers is unique in its allowance of walk-in
consultations, and the public greatly appreciates and benefits from this
service.
• Veterans Clinic. Every Friday afternoon, Houston Volunteer Lawyers
holds a legal advice clinic at the Michael DeBakey V.A. Hospital, seeing nearly 40 veterans each week and providing them with legal advice
on the spot and extended pro bono representation whenever needed.
Houston Volunteer Lawyers has a 100% pro bono placement rate for
veterans in need of continued representation.
• Texas Children’s Medical-Legal Partnership.

Since its launch on November 1, 2012, Houston Volunteer Lawyers successfully has placed 100% of MLP cases needing pro bono assistance,
and has helped more than 40 patient families.
• Family Courthouse Booth. Located next to the Family Law Center
intake department at Harris County’s Family Law Center in downtown
Houston, the Family Law Courthouse Booth assists pro se litigants in
handling family law cases such as divorces and child custody matters.
Increasingly, Family Court judges require pro se litigants to have their
documents reviewed at Houston Volunteer Lawyers’ booth prior to final
hearing.
• Houston Area Women’s Center. Houston Volunteer Lawyers assisted
victims of domestic violence at the Houston Area Women’s Center with
protective orders. HAWC clinics are staffed by volunteer attorneys
from ExxonMobil and Fulbright & Jaworski, and are scheduled on the
first Friday of every month.
Volunteer attorneys answer legal questions at a Saturday HVL legal
advice clinic, held a different venues in the community.
• Asian Clinics. Houston Volunteer Lawyers now maintains a consistent presence within Houston’s Asian-American community. Houston
Volunteer Lawyers holds legal advice clinics once monthly for persons
of Vietnamese descent at the VN Teamwork Community Center, and
once monthly at the Chinese Community Center. Houston Volunteer

• Faith and Practice. Houston Volunteer Lawyers held quarterly Legal
PROGRAM
Advice Clinics at Palmer Episcopal Church in the Houston Medical
Center. These Legal Advice Clinics targeted eligible employees of the
medical center.
• Will-a-Thons. Houston Volunteer Lawyers continued collaborating
with various corporations and bar committees to provide estate planning
services to low-income seniors. For example, Shell Oil’s legal department volunteered for the 2012 Shell-a-Thon, at which Shell provided
legal advice to walk-in applicants and also executed estate planning
documents for pre-screened clients. In April 2012, the HBA Will-aThon, sponsored by the HBA’s Elder Law Committee, continued its
success with 113 clients receiving estate planning documents that day.
Halliburton sponsored its own wills clinic, as did BP’s legal department
for the fifth year in a row.
• Virtual Clinics. To accommodate busy volunteer attorneys, one of
Houston Volunteer Lawyers’ most active pro bono partners, Vinson &
Elkins, held its Virtual Legal Clinic once per quarter. From their own
offices, volunteer attorneys from V&E provided counsel and advice to
clients – who come into Houston Volunteer Lawyers’ office – via the
internet using Skype program software.
• Spanish-only Clinic. ExxonMobil conducted its first ever Law Management clinic with Houston Volunteer Lawyers in the Spring of 2012.
ExxonMobil’s Law Management group, including its General Counsel
and those who report immediately to him, brought 20 volunteer attorneys and 9 translators to Houston Volunteer Lawyers’ offices for a first
ever Spanish-speaking clinic. Using translators, ExxonMobil attorneys
assisted 55 Spanish-speaking applicants in a single morning.
Houston Volunteer Lawyers makes it easy for volunteers to help in
these matters, assigning a staff attorney to every pro bono case for
mentoring and making a litany of legal resources available through the
online Volunteer Portal. To learn how you can help, visit
www.MakeJusticeHappen.org.
The Houston Bar Foundation provides limited, temporary
financial assistance to attorneys who qualify and are approved by
the Foundation’s Board of Directors as being in need of Financial
Assistance.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
GRANTS
The Foundation provides a grant to underwrite education for
Harris County court personnel that is related directly to the administration of justice. Grants have been made to both individuals and groups.
JUVENILE JUSTICE
MOCK TRIAL PROGRAM
The Houston Bar Association’s Juvenile Justice Mock Trial
Program is now in its 37th year of teaching young teens about law and
the legal system. As part of social studies or history classes, students
at 40 participating public and private schools in the Houston area work
with law students and staff to learn about the procedures involved in a
courtroom trial.
Over a five-week period, the students develop their own case
story and assume the roles of judge, jurors, attorneys, defendants,
plaintiffs and witnesses. At the end of the unit, the classes travel to the
Harris County courthouse complex where they enact their mock trial in
an actual courtroom. The program focuses on eighth grade students and
