Legal ServicesTexas, United States2-10 Employees

Texas Fair Defense Project operates within the legal services field to reduce the criminalization of poverty in Texas. Through litigation, policy advocacy, and community lawyering, it seeks to disentangle people and communities from the criminal legal system and hold system actors accountable. As an anti-racist organization, it recognizes that the criminal legal system disproportionately targets Black people and other people of color and can cause irreparable, intergenerational harm. Based in Austin, Texas, the organization maintains a small team focused on its mission. It serves individuals and communities affected by poverty-related criminalization and pursues change through legal action, policy work, and direct community engagement. In August 2023, it filed a lawsuit against Caldwell County, alleging that clients were denied access to magistrate court proceedings.
