Texas Community Building with Attorney Resources (CBAR)

TRLA’s CBAR program matches eligible nonprofits with volunteer attorneys who provide free legal services for matters that do not involve litigation, such as incorporation, federal tax exemption, bylaws, contracts, waivers and releases, internal policies, board compliance, and other nonprofit legal needs. 

Services are limited to TRLA’s 68-county service area in South and West Texas, which includes greater San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, and the RioGrande Valley. Please check our map to see if you are within our service area.
