Sick Of It: SOI Best Practices

Wednesday September 2, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT

Sick of having to explain to courthouse personnel why you should get free copies? Sick of frivolous SOI challenges from opposing counsel? This session is for you! Knowing Rule 145 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure backwards and forwards, along with its intricacies, is an essential tool for any lawyer working with limited- to no-income clients. This workshop will provide all the tools needed to accurately and easily fill out an SOI form (making sure you are using the right one), persuasively communicate with court personnel to ensure your client’s SOI is honored, and zealously defend against SOI challenges.

Fighting the Good Fight – Self Care for Sustainable Client Advocacy

Wednesday September 2, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm CDT

Passionately and effectively advocating for clients is a good fight that rewards legal practitioners with their own double-edged sword. On one side, playing a part in securing wins for those who need them most and camaraderie working alongside others committed to the same fight. The downside of this good work builds up over time: exhaustion from knowing there is an ever-growing number of cases, clients, and problems to solve, accumulated grief from the inevitable losses, and secondary trauma from dealing in difficult issues, some of which go beyond the capabilities of legal practitioners.

Michael and Penelope are advocates who have felt these feelings through years of working in various legal aid fields, including environmental justice, family, fair housing, criminal, and community development work. Everyone’s journey to taking care of themselves is different, but we will share our stories and lessons learned in our journeys of acknowledging the very real difficulty of burnout and finding pathways to sustainability. This presentation will focus on specific ways to process and manage your case load, celebrate wins, build community inside and outside of the legal field, and connect with specific mental health and wellbeing resources. Attendees will have various opportunities to reflect on their own wellbeing and consider emotional, physical, and mental health as a part of their legal practice.

Think of it this way: you are not just an advocate. First and foremost, you are a person who practices advocacy. We hope this presentation encourages you and provides specific tools to help sustain your advocacy.

Title IX in Practice: Access to Justice, Survivor Support, and Due Process in Schools

Wednesday September 2, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm CDT

Conference Room 301

Title IX is often viewed through a compliance lens, but for many students, it functions as a critical access-to-justice framework impacting safety, educational access, and long-term stability across both K–12 and higher education settings.

This session provides a practical overview of Title IX under the 2020 regulations, including the role of the Title IX Coordinator, reporting and response obligations, supportive measures, and intersections with the Clery Act. Presenters will examine how institutional policies and processes affect vulnerable and underserved student populations, particularly those experiencing overlapping challenges such as housing insecurity and intimate partner violence.

The session will also explore prevention as an early intervention strategy and provide an overview of the hearing and advisor process, including due process protections and common barriers students face when navigating institutional systems. In addition, the session will address how Title IX intersects with broader civil rights frameworks, including Title VI, and the implications for case classification, reporting pathways, and institutional response.

Through a multidisciplinary lens, this session connects compliance requirements to real-world advocacy, equipping attendees with actionable insight to better support clients interacting with school-based Title IX systems.

This session is particularly relevant for attorneys and advocates representing students in K–12 and higher education systems or working with survivors of gender-based violence.

Greening Legal Deserts: Solutions to Rural Lawyer Scarcity

Wednesday September 2, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm CDT

Conference Room 301

Every rural community deserves a legal system that is both high-functioning and well-resourced. But lawyer scarcity across much of Texas makes such systems aspirational. This session will discuss solutions to the problem of rural legal deserts: Programs that have supported rural doctors for decades can be models for recruiting rural lawyers; Lawyers' educational, licensing, and practice structures can be updated and tailored to rural needs; and courts can modernize their practices. Learn about recent innovations and successes in these areas, and share your own approaches to rural lawyer recruitment.

Building Community-Based Legal Access: Lessons from the Economic Justice Initiative

Thursday September 3, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm CDT

The access to justice crisis in Texas is well-documented, but solutions at scale have been elusive. Community justice workers (CJWs), non-lawyer legal advocates who expand legal access in ways attorneys cannot alone, represent one of the most promising responses to the problem. In Texas, this model is already at work, and an anticipated licensure framework could soon expand what non-lawyer advocates are authorized to do. This session uses the Economic Justice Initiative (EJI), with 25+ CJWs and attorneys across 10 legal service partners, as a concrete case study in what building and running a CJW program requires. Presenters will share what the work has revealed about how CJWs make an impact, what a structured learning approach for CJWs looks like, how partner and community collaboration shapes the model, and what implementation has taught us about responsible program design in Texas.

When Your Client Is Drowning: Trauma-Informed Communication in Bankruptcy Practice

Thursday September 3, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm CDT

Imagine drowning financially for two years. You've depleted your savings, destroyed your credit, and broken your body trying to stay afloat. You finally call an attorney—your last hope—but you're terrified they'll judge you as a failure. So you minimize the debt, you "forget" to mention the inheritance, you tell them what you think they want to hear. That's your client. They desperately need help, but shame won't let them ask for it honestly. They're not just seeking legal help—they're looking for someone who won't judge them, who will hear them, who can pull them to safety. But their trauma is so profound they can't tell you what you need to know to actually help them.

Research confirms this: over 60% of bankruptcy filers experience significant shame, and most struggle for 2+ years before seeking help. That trauma creates real barriers—clients minimize debts, omit assets, avoid difficult topics, and provide incomplete information. The result? Bad petitions, trustee problems, and malpractice exposure.

This session teaches you to recognize trauma responses in real time (defensive anger, avoidance, decision paralysis, people-pleasing), use specific language that builds trust instead of triggering shame, read verbal and non-verbal cues that signal hidden information, and deploy strategic questioning that surfaces critical facts your clients are terrified to disclose.

Through interactive polling and real case examples—medical debt, predatory lending, hidden assets—you'll learn immediately applicable communication techniques. The presenters practice bankruptcy and other areas of consumer law; one is a bankruptcy attorney with a master's degree in psychology. While the session focuses on bankruptcy practice, these trauma-informed techniques apply across legal aid practice with financially distressed clients.

You can't help clients who won't tell you the truth. This session shows you how to create the safety they need to tell you everything.

Expunctions and Nondisclosures: Barrier Removal for Victims

Friday September 4, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am CDT

Victims face several invisible barriers that make it more difficult for them to leave. Or if they have left, make it very difficult for them to stay away. This presentation can discuss how tools such as expunctions and nondisclosures, amongst others, can assist. The main tools we are going to discuss is going to be related to cleaning up a victims criminal history using expunctions and nondisclosures. Having a criminal history, even when a case was ultimately dismissed, can prevent someone from obtaining employment, housing, etc. and thus make it more difficult for victims to successfully leave. Expunctions would allow victims to erase eligible criminal records, and nondisclosures would allow victims to hide their criminal history. Similarly, victims can also use tools like name changes, occupational driver's license (ODL), etc. to help remove barriers that prevent victims from leaving an abusive relationship.

The True Cost of Being "Poor" in Texas

Friday September 4, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am CDT

Poverty in Texas extends far beyond low-income statistics. It is fundamentally an infrastructure problem where transportation gaps, broadband deserts, wireless coverage limitations, and language access barriers compound each other to create complete service inaccessibility.

This session reveals how these barriers compound to create complete legal service inaccessibility, even when programs like legal aid exist.

 Participants will leave with a framework for analyzing how infrastructure barriers affect their own programs' unmet need, data collection strategies to quantify geographic service gaps, and advocacy strategies for technology solutions that would equalize access to justice.

Where Do I Even Start and What Does This Even Mean?: Parsing Legal Processes and Procedures for the Pro Se Litigant

Friday September 4, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am CDT

Conference Room 301

Many low-income Texans—to say nothing of nonlawyers in general, regardless of their income level—face reading comprehension barriers that prevent them from fully accessing the civil justice system. TexasLawHelp is often the first place that people land when they’re trying to understand their legal matter. While Beacon Law tries to mitigate the potentially harmful effects the legal system can have on unhoused and indigent clients, their resources—like the resources of all legal aids—are limited. Beacon Law and TexasLawHelp come from slightly different places in legal aid, but both have a lot to share about making legal information accessible.

Explaining complex legal matters issues to legal aid clients presents a challenge. Many U.S. adults read at or below a 6th-grade level, and poverty is associated with lower literacy rates. Legal aid organizations must meet clients where they are—without watering content down to the point of inaccuracy or creating a process that’s too overwhelming for pro se litigants to proceed. The stressors that our populations face further complicate their ability to understand complex legal issues.

This presentation will explore ethical considerations and risks, and offer tools, best practices, and pointers for explaining legal concepts in clear, simple language in a way that empowers and educates. By the end of this session, participants will have a better understanding of the importance of plain language in poverty law, along with the legal and ethical considerations. We will teach strategies for putting this knowledge into action (whether in practice or by writing for the public).

Bridging the Justice Gap: The Community Justice Workers of Texas Model in Action

Friday September 4, 2026 10:15am - 11:15am CDT

Too many Texans are left to navigate legal challenges without the support they need. The Community Justice Workers of Texas (CJW) Program addresses this gap by training and empowering trusted individuals who are already working or volunteering within Community Partner Organizations (CPOs). These community members help share vital legal information and connect people to appropriate resources and services.

This session will highlight the collaborative efforts of Disability Rights Texas, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, Lone Star Legal Aid, Texas Legal Services Center, and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid in tackling the statewide justice gap for low-income Texans. While the program has already achieved meaningful progress, it continues to grow, with the long-term goal of establishing CJWs across Texas to meet the increasing demand for accessible legal support.

If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit…The Impact of Unjust Legal Financial Obligations and a Model for Justice Court Ability to Pay Determinations

Friday September 4, 2026 10:15am - 11:15am CDT

Junior Ballroom

Across the country, unjust fines and fees burden millions of Americans. Rather than serving justice, these legal financial obligations trap people in poverty and prolong their involvement with the criminal justice system. Despite laws on the books that require ability to pay assessments, Texas is no exception. This is especially true in our justice courts, where defendants have no right to counsel and are often unaware of their right to have the judge determine their ability to pay and then sentence appropriately. In this session, Lisa Foster, Co-Founder and Senior Advisor of the Fines and Fees Justice Center, and Judge Steven Duble, Harris County Justice of the Peace for Precinct 1, Place 2, will present on: 1. The impact of unjust fines and fees on individuals, families and communities, 2. The positive outcomes of having effective ability to pay determinations, and 3. How Harris County Justice of the Peace Court 1-2 is seeking to create a model ability to pay assessment process – one that is fair, efficient and effective.

Be a LEGO: What Legal Deserts Teach Us About Building Community Partnerships

Friday September 4, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm CDT

A staple in the toy industry is the building blocks known as LEGO – designed to connect, build, and bring structures to life through creativity and ingenuity. Similarly, this session will teach legal advocates how to be a "LEGO", using lessons learned from serving communities in a legal desert to demonstrate practical, adaptable strategies used by TxILC’s Economic Justice Initiative (EJI) fellows for connecting clients to both legal and non-legal resources to bridge the access to justice gap through their work in family law and domestic violence in rural areas. With limited resources and an expansive area to cover, the ultimate question that EJI and the fellows aim to address is how do we best serve our clients with their legal and non-legal needs in a meaningful and intentional way, extending client impact past their case. “What Legal Deserts Teach Us About Building Community Partnerships” will discuss how the community justice worker (non-attorney advocates) framework is being used to address family law and domestic violence cases in rural communities, and teach legal advocates in the session, through hands-on and collaborative activities, strategies on how to identify imminent needs in the community, how to identify key partners that can help address those needs, and how to facilitate sustainable yet flexible support systems specific to each community for attendees to take with them. The approaches shared are designed to be replicated across a range of settings where advocates face challenges in linking clients to meaningful support.
