LEGAL AID PROGRAMSIntroduction to Civil Legal AidThe federal government, through the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), funds three legal services programs thatserve every county in <strong>Texas</strong>: Legal Aid <strong>of</strong> NorthWest <strong>Texas</strong>, Lone Star Legal Aid and <strong>Texas</strong> RioGrande Legal Aid. Thethree LSC funded programs provide a wide range <strong>of</strong> civil legal services. Nearly 40% <strong>of</strong> the cases handled are familylaw cases. Most other cases are in the areas <strong>of</strong> housing, consumer law, employment, public benefits, or issuesaffecting the elderly. Due to federal restrictions, these LSC funded programs cannot handle criminal cases orimmigration cases, except for representation <strong>of</strong> immigrants who have been victims <strong>of</strong> violent crime.LegalAid <strong>of</strong>NorthWesst <strong>Texas</strong>1-888-5229-5277w ww.lanwt.orgL E GAL AID PROGR AMSDallasEl PasoS an AntoniooHoustonT exasRioGrande Lega l Aid1-888-988-9996w ww.trla.orgLone Star LegalAid1 -800-733-8394w www.lonestarlegal.orggFunding for legal services programs is extremely limited. Legal aid programs must turn away many with serious legalneeds due to limited resources. LSC funded programs, and most other programs included in this directory, mustrefuse service to any applicant whose income is above specific federal poverty guidelines.7
In most situations, the family income must fall below 125% <strong>of</strong> the federal poverty income guidelines. But in somesituations, the family income can be up to 200% <strong>of</strong> the poverty guidelines. So even if your household exceeds the125% guidelines, you should still apply.2012 Poverty GuidelinesFAMILY SIZE 100% 125% 175% 187 1 ⁄2 200%1 11,170 13,963 19,548 20,944 22,3402 15,130 18,913 26,478 28,369 30,2603 19,090 23,863 33,408 35,794 38,1804 23,050 28,813 40,338 43,219 46,1005 27,010 33,763 47,268 50,644 54,0206 30,970 38,713 54,198 58,069 61,9407 34,930 43,663 61,128 65,494 69,8608 38,890 48,613 68,058 72,919 77,780Each additionalmember add 3,960 4,950 6,930 7,425 7,920The programs listed include LSC funded legal services programs, followed by programs that either serve a specificclient group (such as people with disabilities, children or older individuals) or limit service to a specific type <strong>of</strong> legalissue (such as civil rights, consumer, housing, or immigration). These programs may have income restrictions thatdiffer from LSC funded programs. LSC funded programs are listed first under each county because they provide themost extensive civil legal service.8

INTRODUCTION TO PRO SE(SELF-HELP) RESOURCESMajor problems impacting access to the justice system in <strong>Texas</strong> include limited resources, funding restrictions,proximity to legal services in rural areas, and a rapidly increasing poverty population. The programs listed in thisdirectory receive many requests for legal assistance, more than any program can accommodate. As a result, theseprograms can only assist a fraction <strong>of</strong> the requests received. Consequently, in some situations, individuals seekinglegal assistance may have no choice other than to represent themselves in a legal matter.ONLINE SELF-HELP RESOURCESBLANCO<strong>Texas</strong>LawHelp.orgwww.texaslawhelp.orgWebsite <strong>of</strong>fers civil legal information (not legalassistance) to Texans who cannot afford legal helpSELF-HELP RESOURCES FORCIVIL MATTERSBASTROPLawyer <strong>Referral</strong> Service <strong>of</strong> Central <strong>Texas</strong>866-303-8303Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., M–FLimited scope panel, MATCH program (sliding scaleservices for low-income individuals)BELLBell County Justice Center – Lone Star Legal Aid1201 Huey Rd.Belton, TX 76513254-939-5773Hours: Tuesday, appointment scheduled upon filing <strong>of</strong>pro se divorce petitionProvides assisted pro se services including individualreview <strong>of</strong> documents, legal advice, sample documents,advice on preparation <strong>of</strong> documentsBEXARBexar County Court – Staff Attorney’s Office100 Dolorosa Ave.San Antonio, TX 78205Answer procedural questions and review paperwork forSRLs.
