Host sites are essential to the Virtual Court Access project. Without you, it couldn't exist. Thank you for partnering with us at Texas Legal Services Center and for supporting access to justice. We appreciate all of your hard work and commitment!
We, at the Texas Legal Services Center, are committed to providing our partners—the Virtual Court Kiosk Host Sites—with all the support needed to ensure a positive experience for host sites and users alike. The following pages list responsibilities and best practices to help us work together better.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Texas began implementing court proceedings in a virtual setting via video conferencing. This innovative use of technology expands access to justice and increases court engagement for many Texans. And yet, as virtual courts become a permanent fixture within our justice system, vulnerable Texans are left without resources to effectively participate.
The Virtual Court Access Project empowers Texans by providing throughout the state and offers to attend virtual proceedings. The kiosks serve Texans in the heart of their communities—i.e. at your organization!
The kiosks provide the equipment and support for community members to apply for legal aid services, conduct legal research, print documents, and attend virtual court hearings or meetings in privacy.
Virtual court kiosks are available to everyone and may be reserved by users.
Texas Legal Services Center is a nonprofit organization that provides legal advice, advocacy, representation, and education to underserved people across the state. With more than a dozen practice areas, our work touches almost every aspect of civil law that impacts low-income Texans.
TexasLawHelp.org is a TLSC resource designed to empower self-represented litigants. For Texans who must represent themselves in the justice system, the website offers legal information, court-approved forms, and LiveChat services with a legal professional. The site hosts 5 million visitors and nearly 15 million page views annually.
