Assisted Pro Se
The Project's Assisted Pro Se (APS) service helps you if you are not able to access traditional legal services. “Pro Se” simply means to act on one’s own behalf.
APS services include helping you prepare legal documents for divorces, protective orders, modifications, general legal advice, and related matters. And our APS services are always free.
Most who access APS services are referred through domestic violence service providers, shelters, and outreach offices throughout Texas.
They are also referred through our hotlines, others attorneys and counselors, and word-of-mouth.
Because personal safety comes first, if you are working with us through our APS service, you will have to maintain an active client relationship with an individual staff member of a local family crisis center. We can help you establish a client relationship if you need to.
From a client who received Assisted Pro Se services
Thank you" barely begins to describe how appreciative I am for the work you've done. You have helped me get a peaceful ending to a very rocky marriage. I never thought I would be in an abusive marriage and also never thought I would have the courage to get out Because of you I did "get out" legally and can now be myself again. Thank you so very much for your patience in answering my questions and your guidance through all of the legal documentation and proceedings. I know that, yes, I represented myself in my divorce but I did not do it on my own and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you for all of your help with getting my maiden name back and most importantly getting my life back. (Name withheld to protect the confidentiality of the client.)
