legal resources and self-help guides

Every eviction is a serious situation that deserves urgent attention. The virus has overwhelmed local legal aid providers with requests for help. Sometimes legal aid providers can only offer you reliable information, and sometimes these organizations can offer more.

Texas RioGrande Legal Aid created a guided walkthrough for basic strategies and assistance when you are unable to speak with an attorney. Learn more by visiting: https://bit.ly/2Wyn7Gu

To get help with a general civil legal issue, call our Legal Aid Line at 888-529-5277.
