Veterans gave their service to our country. Too often, they come home to legal problems that stand between them and the stability they earned: benefits that are denied or cut off, debts they cannot pay, housing they are at risk of losing.
Texas Veterans Legal Aid Week (TVLAW) is a statewide effort to change that. This year it runs November 8–14, around Veterans Day. Coordinated by the Texas Access to Justice Foundation, it is a week when legal aid organizations, bar associations and volunteer attorneys across Texas host free legal clinics and events for veterans and their families. Lone Star Legal Aid (LSLA) is proud to take part, and this year we are sharing both our upcoming events and one veteran’s story of what legal help can make possible.
LSLA’s Military & Veterans Unit is meeting veterans in person at VA facilities in Houston and Central Texas. Attorneys can help with civil legal issues including VA and other benefits, discharge upgrades, money and debt, family law, housing, wills and estate planning, and criminal record clearing.
Veterans, veteran spouses and veteran dependents are eligible. Questions? Call 1-844-400-VETS (8387).
Can’t make it this week? These clinics continue year-round. LSLA attorneys are at the DeBakey VA Medical Center and the VA CRRC in Houston every week, and at the Temple VA on the first and third Fridays of each month. See all upcoming dates on the LSLA events page and the statewide TVLAW calendar.
TVLAW 2026 is already underway. Here is where LSLA’s Military & Veterans Unit has met veterans so far:
Thank you to every veteran who stopped by, and to our VA partners for hosting us.
Legal help can change a veteran’s life. Our new video tells the story of Mr. Christian, a disabled veteran who is legally blind, and LSLA attorney Sondra Haltom, who spent nearly two years fighting to clear his VA debt.
