Lawyers who volunteer their time to litigate cases help TCRP provide more assistance to low-income people. Through cooperating pro bono attorneys, TCRP hopes to expand the number of people whose civil rights will be protected.
We fight to end the criminalization of poverty in Texas. Through litigation, policy advocacy, and community lawyering we aim to disentangle people and communities from the criminal legal system and hold system actors accountable. As an anti-racist organization, we recognize the criminal legal system systematically targets Black people and other people of color, causing irreperable and intergenerational harm. We are committed to assisting and empowering impacted people and communities, working side by side to dismantle the current system so healthy communities can take hold in its place.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for low-income communities in Texas by providing pro bono business law resources to nonprofits and microentrepreneurs for whom legal assistance is financially out of reach. We fulfill this mission by connecting eligible nonprofits and microenterprises to attorney volunteers through Texas C-BAR and LAMP (Legal Assistance to Microenterprises Project).
