Pro Bono Service Opportunity: Housing Crisis Center

Volunteers will empower HCC clients to resolve their housing-related legal issues by advising them on their rights and responsibilities under Texas landlord-tenant laws.  

What to expect:

Our Legal Clinic begins with a "general" presentation of Landlord-Tenant Law. Duration: 20 - 30 minutes. Afterwards, participants break out into offices for an "advice only" consultation from Texas licensed, volunteer attorneys (each of you). We have information (packets of legal documents) available to volunteer attorneys to provide to participants.  For those who would like a full training, one can be accessed at https://youtu.be/aZ0GcBjiIVI.

Worried about a lack of experience in this area of the law?  Don't be.  Knowledgeable attorneys from both Reed Smith and HCC will be there to help guide you every step of the way.  

Only have a limited amount of time to serve?  Come and give whatever time you are able to give, whether that's a half hour or the duration of the meeting.  Also, this is an advice-only clinic, so there is no commitment to represent or help the clients following this event.  

For returning volunteers:

For returning volunteer attorneys, the "bins" of documents/packets, are now in drawers of a file cabinet. Please arrive early to familiarize yourself with which documents are available to clinic participants. For new volunteers, a key feature/benefit of our clinic is that our attorneys provide legal documents/packets, for participants to file for court.
