Welcome

The State Bar of Texas has a longstanding commitment to fostering a culture of pro bono service in our state. However, 2013 marked the beginning of a new phase of that commitment when the bar began creating new programs and services to support pro bono attorneys and the legal aid providers where they volunteer.

We heard—and continue to hear—from pro bono attorneys, local bar leaders, legal aid providers, judges, law firms, law schools, corporate counsel, paralegals, law libraries, legal aid funders, and others about the successes and challenges of pro bono in their communities and their ideas about how the bar can help. One of the things we heard was that many people don’t know about the bar’s programs and services for pro bono attorneys and the information can be hard to track down because it is in so many different places. Thus, the idea for Pro Bono Texas was born.

Pro Bono Texas is your one-stop hub for all things pro bono. Here you will find the perfect place to volunteer, the mentors to guide you, the resources to succeed, and a space to celebrate pro bono.

Let us know what questions or feedback you have, including what additional resources you would like to see here.

Thank you for being a part of Pro Bono Texas!
