Texas Disaster Legal Help Pro Bono Portal

In Texas, the question is always when the next disaster will strike – not if. Oftentimes our residents are still dealing with the fallout from a disaster that happened years before, as they prepare for the next.

Texas Disaster Legal Help (TDLH) is a collaboration between the three largest legal aid organizations in Texas – Lone Star Legal Aid, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid -worked together to create a Pro Bono Portal (Portal) dedicated to connecting pro bono volunteers to educational materials, training, and volunteer opportunities. Through the Portal, volunteers can view tailored resources, review and accept cases statewide, sign up for ongoing training opportunities, track case time and CLE credits, access helpful templates, and conduct other casework.  Go to our website to see the latest disaster legal news, listen to our podcast, or view one of our videos and get CLE credit by signing up to volunteer.  Help us, help Texans.
