HVL is honored to be a Night Court beneficiary. Proceeds from Night Court have increase our capacity to make civil legal services more accessible for low-income individuals in Houston and surrounding communities.

Congratulations to the team for receiving recognition from AALL for creating programming to increase engagement and meaningful touchpoints that advance access to justice in our communities.

Addressing accessibility issues requires collaboration and innovation, and that is exactly what powers initiatives like the LawPod clinics.

HVL thanks our amazing volunteers who spent time serving the community in June. Lending legal expertise and skills to individuals through case work and clinics not only makes a difference for that client; it advances our mission to close the justice gap for low-income Texans.

July is Disability Pride Month!

This month celebrates disability visibility, inclusion, and the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Many families of adults with disabilities face legal barriers to accessing the care and support their loved ones need. Through dedicated pro bono attorneys, HVL helps individuals with disabilities to draft and execute supportive decision-making documents.

Join us in celebrating Disability Pride Month by supporting a more accessible and equitable community for all. Learn more about our work: legalhelphouston.org

July 4, 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This monumental milestone for the United States of America gives us many reasons to rejoice as well as reflect on our nation’s history. Since 1776, American culture and pride have evolved; people from all walks of life celebrate the United States as a symbol of strength in the face of tyranny and oppression. The universal and unalienable rights of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” unite, empower, and inspire the American people. At HVL, we see every day how access to justice helps turn these ideals into reality for individuals in our community. HVL encourages you to take a moment to read the declaration today and reflect on how far we have come as a nation, and on our shared responsibility to continue advancing the ideals of liberty, justice, and opportunity for all.

Owning a home is one of the biggest investments many Texans will ever make.

When legal challenges arise, from title issues and foreclosure concerns to disaster-related property disputes, civil legal aid helps homeowners understand their rights and protect what they've worked hard to build.

By addressing legal issues early, families can maintain housing stability, preserve financial security and stay connected to their communities.

Strong homeowners help build strong communities across Texas.
