TRLA is grateful to receive support from various public and private entities, as well as from hundreds of individuals! Without the generosity of these supporters, we could not meet our goals of providing free, high-quality legal services to low-income Texans. Donations allow us to undertake new initiatives, and to better serve vulnerable special populations.

Funding for the Medical-Legal Assistance for Families Project was provided by a grant from the Ruth Lang Charitable Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation. For more than 40 years, the San Antonio Area Foundation, a publicly supported philanthropic institution, has been administering donors’ funds and granting gifts from those funds to worthy charitable causes that significantly enhance the quality of life in the communities they serve.
Please help support TRLA in its work to provide free civil legal aid to low-income Texans who desperately need it. There is more than one way to help and every bit makes a difference.
