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 2023, LSLA completed over 23,673 cases, impacting approximately 60,000 individuals. Of which, 33% were survivors of domestic violence, 18.5% were 60 or older, and 7.5% were veterans.

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, like the aging, the disabled, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and more.

We are excited that the Department of Justice compelled the City of Houston to create the One Clean Houston Plan to address our long-standing illegal dumping issues in black and brown communities. We are looking forward to providing support to the Department of Justice’s ongoing monitoring of the issue through continued community engagement.
