Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans is building on the important work begun by the
Houston Bar Association. Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans is a new State Bar of
Texas program to develop and assist pro bono legal clinics throughout the states
for military veterans who cannot afford or do not have access to the legal
services they need. The program is a major initiative of 2010-2011 State Bar of
Texas President, Terry Tottenham.
The Tarrant County Bar Association and its 2010-2011 President, Brad Parker,
created the Tarrant County Bar Association Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans
Committee in June 2010 to implement the program.
The mission is to develop a coordinated pro-bono network of lawyers and
volunteers to assist veterans who otherwise could not afford counsel through the
development of legal clinics and a pro bono attorney network.
