Our Mission

We protect and advance the civil legal rights of low-income Texans by providing advocacy, legal representation, and community education that ensures equal access to justice.

In 2025, Lone Star Legal Aid handled 27,973 cases, benefiting 67,153 individuals across our service area. Our work included 6,099 housing cases, 2,229 cases serving veterans, surviving spouses, and military dependents, 5,613 senior citizen cases, and 8,774 cases involving survivors of domestic violence. Through the dedication of our staff and 2,873 pro bono attorney-handled cases, we secured more than $12.69 million in economic awards and savings for our clients.

Our priorities include:

  • Improving the delivery of legal services;
  • Providing advice, brief services, and referrals;
  • Maintaining, enhancing and protecting income and economic stability;
  • Seeking or maintaining safety, stability, and health or well-being;
  • Preserving housing and relating housing needs;
  • Improving outcomes for children; and
  • Assisting populations with special vulnerabilities.

The client did not have the financial resources to hire a private attorney. The lack of financial resources should not be a barrier to accessing safety-related orders from the civil legal justice system.
