Texas Supreme Court Pro Bono Program

The Supreme Court refers cases to the Program when it requests full briefing on the merits and there is at least one party who is proceeding pro se because of his or her financial circumstances. Parties represented by counsel at the petition stage may also request the Appellate Section's Pro Bono Committee to be included in the Program if Court requests merits briefing as well. A full explanation of the proposed Program is available in the attached Proposal that was adopted by the Supreme Court.
