The State Bar of Texas 2025 - 2026 Referral Directory: Legal Services and Other Resources for Low-Income Texans 

 http://www.texasbar.com/referraldirectory.

Most programs listed in the Directory have income eligibility guidelines and cannot serve any applicant whose income is above those guidelines. The income eligibility guidelines most commonly used by legal service providers are established by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) and are based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The most recent Federal Poverty Guidelines can be found in the Civil Resources tab of this directory or by visiting the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website at: https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty-economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines.

In addition to the three large legal aid providers funded by LSC that provide coverage for the entire state, various other non-profit organizations provide free legal aid. Some programs serve particular populations, such as survivors of domestic violence, children, or seniors, and some provide services regardless of income. Other programs offer services in certain areas of the law, such as housing, consumer, or civil rights, and may or may not have income restrictions. All programs have limited resources and must turn away many applicants who qualify for their services.

Texas Access to Justice Commission will have an interactive map of Legal Aid Services found at https://www.texasatj.org.

Important

It is always best to have a lawyer.  The law and court proceedings are complicated, and lawyers have legal training. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and options and help get the best result possible in your case. Sometimes even simple matters can have consequences that you are not aware of or do not understand.
