Company Description Founded in 1970 to represent Texas farmworkers,
TRLA has grown into the nation---s third largest legal aid provider
and the largest in Texas. TRLA provides free civil legal services
to residents in 68 Southwest Texas counties, and represents migrant
and seasonal farm workers throughout the state and in six other
southern states. TRLA also operates public defender programs that
serve at least 10 Texas counties, representing low-income and
indigent people accused of felonies, misdemeanors, and juvenile
crimes. TRLA serves about 23,000 clients each year. However, more
than 2.6 million residents of Southwest Texas are considered
eligible for TRLA services, a ratio of almost 21,000 potential
clients per legal aid lawyer. As a result, thousands of low-income
Texans still lack access to civil legal representation. TRLA
attorneys specialize in more than 45 practice areas, including
family, employment, foreclosure, bankruptcy, subsidized housing,
farmworker, civil rights, and environmental law. TRLA serves its
clientele through its Mercedes headquarters and branch offices
throughout Southwest Texas. Its Southern Migrant Legal Services
(SMLS) office in Nashville, Tenn., serves migrant farm workers in
that state and five others: Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Arkansas. TRLA is funded principally by Legal
Services Corporation, the federal agency that provides financial
resources to legal aid organizations throughout the nation, and by
Texas Access to Justice Foundation (TAJF), which was created by the
Texas Supreme Court in 1984. TRLA receives smaller grants from a
variety of federal, state and local agencies, foundations, and
corporations. In addition, the Texas Task Force on Indigent Defense
funds TRLA's growing public defender program. TRLA has developed
other special programs that serve specific client populations:
Legal Aid for Survivors of Sexual Assault (LASSA), funded by TAJF;
the Texas Foster Youth Project, and Texas C-Bar, which provides
legal services to small businesses and nonprofits.
