IRS990/Desc0Texas Fair Defense Project is a team of dedicated attorneys and advocates fighting to end the criminalization of poverty in Texas. We use direct legal services, policy advocacy, strategic litigation and community lawyering to uplift the clients and communities we fight alongside and at the same time hold legal systems and actors accountable. Our client population is disproportionately targeted by the criminal legal system simply because they cannot afford access to justice. They cannot afford to hire an attorney in their criminal case, cannot purchase their freedom through cash bail, have had their drivers licenses revoked because they could not pay ticket and related debt, or are held in jail for failing to pay court debt they cannot afford. They are disproportionately people of color, and are caught in a cycle of poverty, debt and criminal justice involvement because they lack the financial resources to break that cycle. Texas Fair Defense Project provides direct legal services to help clients who are trapped in the criminal legal system find an exit ramp out of system involvement and on with their lives. In 2020, we started a pro bono program to recruit and train volunteer attorneys to represent clients, which allows us to significantly expand our reach. The services we offer are otherwise unavailable to people who cannot afford to hire an attorney: they are in the corners of the criminal law where the government will not provide an attorney to those who cannot afford one, but a person is unlikely to be able to navigate a way out of the system without an attorney or financial resources. The majority of these services are part of our drivers license recovery and criminal debt program, where we help people resolve their court debt and the attendant consequences, such as drivers license suspension, warrants and the threat of jail time. In 2020, TFDP represented 86 individual clients in their traffic ticket and related debt cases, served 143 people at our clinics, and trained 47 pro bono attorneys with 12 cases referred for pro bono representation. Through these services, close to $40,000 in ticket and related debt was waived, and over 50% of clients who participated in these programs have successfully recovered their driver licenses. In addition, we launched with Texas Appleseed an online toolkit and webinar for people to represent themselves pro se: more than 1,700 people have visited the site since it launched. In fall of 2020, we began providing expunction, record sealing, and early termination of probation services. Our 2020 strategic litigation cases focused on modern-day debtors prisons and access to quality counsel. For example, we challenged a sheriffs policy of refusing to disclose the list of people in his jail; the governors executive order that held people in jail during the pandemic because they could not pay bail; and courts practices of assessing attorney fees to people who have been appointed attorneys because they were indigent. We also filed judicial complaints against judges in Harris County for refusing to appoint the public defender office, in violation of state law, which quickly led to an increase in appointments to that office. Our class action lawsuit, Daves v. Dallas County with Civil Rights Corps and ACLU-TX continues against Dallas County for their unconstitutional bail practices with the parties currently in discovery and an appeal pending in the Fifth Circuit. With 2020 being an interim year for the Texas Legislature, our policy efforts focused on local reform. This workespecially in large, urban jurisdictionstouches thousands of lives a year and positions us for reform on the state level. Our local work has focused on pretrial reform and drivers license recovery. We published with our partners at Texas Appleseed two locally-focused reports on drivers license suspensions: Driven By Debt Houston; and Driven By Debt Dallas. Both reports resulted in media coverage and interest from local policymakers
