Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Texas Defender Services mission is to promote a fair and just criminal justice system in Texas.

Major Activities

Activity 2
The Trial Project provides pro bono legal services to indigent defendants during their initial case in which they have been charged with a capital crime through: (1) targeted case consulting with court appointed lawyers at the trial level designed to ensure the presentation and preservation of potentially meritorious defenses and claims in state court; and, (2) systematic data collection, which will provide TDS with even more detailed information about cases and clients from the inception of trial proceedings. TDS also provides trial level attorney trainings which identify developing issues in cases, and educate and equip lawyers to better handle these challenges. These defense team trainings and case consultation are services critical to improving the quality of representation in criminal cases in Texas. Essential tasks include maintaining and increasing TDS database of forensic experts, serving as a liaison between trial level defense teams and experts, and providing targeted support to defense teams through case consultation and identification of recurring systemic issues in capital trials.
Activity 3
The Capital Communications Project implements public education strategies to help increase success in capital litigation. The project develops and provides information to the public and interested stakeholders about the facts of these cases.

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTest0Part II, Line 17b--FACTS & CIRCUMSTANCES TESTThe Texas Defender Service (TDS) submits that throughout its existence to date and in the future, it qualifies as a public charity under Internal Revenue Code 509(a)(1) by satisfying the requirements of Regulations 1.170A-9(f)(3) as follows: (i). Ten Percent Test: Texas Defender Service has historically and normally can be expected in the future to receive over 10% of its total support from the general public. (ii). Attraction of Public Support: Texas Defender Service is dedicated to promoting a fair and just criminal justice system in Texas. TDS has attracted the support of many small family foundations, Texas-based organizations and individuals since it began in 1995. From its inception until 2007, TDS had 33 1/3% or more of its support come from the public. 2008 was the first year that the balance of public funding fell below this amount, primarily due to increased funding from two large foundations which have helped TDS to make qualitative leaps in its ability to fulfill its mission. TDS continues to have an active outreach to small and major donors through the annual appeal drive which typically garners a hundred or more donations from individuals and firms. TDS focuses fundraising efforts in the legal community and receives support from attorneys throughout Texas and the nation. In addition to the annual appeal, TDS applies for and receives grants from numerous publicly supported and family foundations. TDS will continue to strive to increase the amount of public support it receives through increased and varied fundraising appeals and public events. (iii). Percentage of Financial Support: TDS received above 33-1/3% of its total support from public sources in its first twelve years and can reasonably expect to return to that ratio. TDS continues to increase the amount received from individual donors and to improve fundraising efforts. TDS believes that the ratio will again be above the 33 1/3 ratio over the next year or two as new initiatives have a chance to affect fundraising sources.(iv). Sources of Support: TDS receives its support from a representative number of foundations and individuals, rather than receiving almost all of its support from the members of a single family or small group of individuals. TDS has to date received gifts from over 100 contributors. Every year TDS has 10-12 law students who volunteer for 40 hours a week for an average of 10 weeks. These students help with special case and issue specific research and writing projects that TDS simply could not do if it were not for their help. Their support enriches TDS' work significantly with each student volunteer offering approximately 400 hours of assistance.(v) Representative Governing Body: TDS' governing body is composed of 11 members of the legal community, none of whom serves as the executive director or on the board of a funding organization. (vi). Availability of Facilities or Services and Public Participation: TDS' programs impact the entire community on Texas' death row and their family members. Because TDS' work impacts the entire criminal justice system in Texas, its programs impact all Texans in creating a criminal justice system that is fairer, more just and more respectful of civil and human rights for everyone in the state. CONCLUSION: Texas Defender Service believes it qualifies as a publicly supported charity described in IRC 509(a)(1) pursuant to the facts and circumstances test found in Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3). TDS has and will receive well in excess of ten percent (10%) of its total support from qualifying public sources. It serves the entire population of Texas' death row and all Texans in fighting for a more just criminal justice system. TDS is governed by a public board and possesses all the characteristics that describe organizations that meet this test.
