11 LEGAL AID PROGRAMS Introduction to Civil Legal Aid The federal government, through the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), funds three legal services programs that serve every county in Texas:, Lone Star Legal Aid and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid. The three LSC funded programs provide a wide range of civil legal services. Nearly 40% of the cases handled are family law cases. Most other cases are in the areas of housing, consumer law, employment, public benefits, or issues affecting the elderly. Due to federal restrictions, these LSC funded programs cannot handle criminal cases or immigration cases, except for representation of immigrants who have been victims of violent crime. Funding for legal services programs is extremely limited. Legal aid programs must turn away many with serious legal needs due to limited resources. LSC funded programs, and most other programs included in this directory, must refuse service to any applicant whose income is above specific federal poverty guidelines. 7
12 In most situations, the family income must fall below 125% of the federal poverty income guidelines. But in some situations, the family income can be up to 200% of the poverty guidelines. So even if your household exceeds the 125% guidelines, you should still apply Poverty Guidelines FAMILY SIZE 125% 187.5% 200% 1 $14,713 $22,069 $23,540 2 $19,913 $29,869 $31,860 3 $25,113 $37,669 $40,180 4 $30,313 $45,469 $48,500 5 $35,513 $53,269 $56,820 6 $40,713 $61,069 $65,140 7 $45,913 $68,869 $73,460 8 $51,113 $76,669 $81,780 For each additional member of the household in excess of 8, add: $ 5,200 $ 7,800 $ 8,320 Calculations based on data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/Federal Register (See The programs listed include LSC-funded legal services programs, followed by programs that either serve a specific client group (such as people with disabilities, children or older individuals) or limit service to a specific type of legal issue (such as civil rights, consumer, housing, or immigration). These programs may have income restrictions that differ from LSC-funded programs. LSC-funded programs are listed first under each county because they provide the most extensive civil legal service. 8
