Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The Director of Finance and Administration reviews the 990 after it has been prepared by outside accountants; the Executive Director then sends it to the board of directors for comment prior to filing with the IRS. The board of directors has no less than 30 days to review the 990 prior to filing and during that period is invited to submit questions and comments regarding the 990 to the Chairperson of the board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“The officers and directors of TDS are required to report any conflicts of interest throughout the year. Any conflicts reported are discussed by the governing body which decides how to handle the conflict of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“The salary of the Executive Director is determined by the board of directors. Data regarding the salaries of other similarly sized non-profits is used to compare compensation. Comparison data was last used in 2012, but the Executive Director's salary has not changed other than by cost of living adjustments, since 2011.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees

“The Executive Director sets the salaries of other employees in consultation with the board of directors. Salaries are set based on an existing internal salary scale which is compared to the salary scale of Federal Public Defenders in a similar position of responsibility and in the case of non-legal positions, to other similarly sized non-profits. Comparison data with other non-profits was last consulted in 2012.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

“All governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0The 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.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The Post-Conviction Project provides pro bono legal services to indigent defendants who have already been convicted of a capital crime through: (1) targeted case consulting with court appointed lawyers designed to ensure the preservation of potentially meritorious claims in state and federal court; and, (2) systematic data collection, which will provide TDS with even more detailed information about cases and clients from the inception of appellate proceedings. TDS also provides post-conviction 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 appellate defense teams and experts, and providing targeted support to defense teams through case consultation and identification of recurring systemic issues in capital trials.
