The Civil Rights Team defends the fundamental rights of low-income individuals and communities through litigation and other advocacy. The team's attorneys combat unlawful discrimination, protect against abuses by government officials, ensure voting rights, and address denials of equal protection and due process of law. 

Services and Activities: 

• Litigate to protect the rights of low-income individuals and communities under the U.S. and Texas constitutions and other federal and state laws; 
• Provide legal education and assistance about constitutional and other legal rights and the administrative processes for asserting those rights; 
• Collaborate with partners and other TRLA teams to identify and address systemic civil rights issues affecting impoverished communities throughout Texas. 

TRLA representation is free, but there may be other related charges such as court fees.
