• Carrollton Municipal Court does not provide direct legal services, represent individuals in legal matters, maintain a list of pro bono attorneys, or match individuals with pro bono attorneys.
  
  
• Funding for legal services is extremely limited and as a result, programs must turn away many with serious legal needs.
  
  
• At most, the State Bar of Texas can offer you referrals to low-cost civil legal services agencies in your area. For a listing of legal service providers by county, see the Referral Directory for Low-Income Texans (PDF).

Lawyer Referral Information Service 

If you do not qualify for legal aid, contact the Lawyer Referral Information Service at 1-800-252-9690. Through the Lawyer Referral Information Service, a person may have a thirty-minute consultation with an attorney for $20. At the end of the consultation, the attorney and individual may discuss possible representation and price structure.

The Lawyer Referral Information Service is not a pro bono or reduced-fee program.
