Legal Services Attorneys Available At Every Eviction Docket in Harris County (Week of October 18-22, 2021)
This week, every eviction docket in Harris County will be staffed with legal services attorneys. 
The Eviction Defense Coalition includes Lone Star Legal Aid, Houston Volunteer Lawyers, South Texas College of Law Houston, Thurgood Marshall School of Law’s Earl Car Institute, and the University of Houston Law Center. The Coalition’s mission is to provide an attorney to every tenant facing eviction to represent them in court, rather than merely providing forms or self-help resources. Any applicant eligible under financial guidelines receives full representation in eviction court.
If you are a tenant facing eviction, we are available to help. You can apply for free legal help by visiting https://www.lonestarlegal.org or calling 1-800-733-8394.
