Texas Advocacy Project Inc

For the past 43 years, Texas Advocacy Project has been providing FREE legal and social services to hundreds of thousands of survivors across Texas. Last year alone, by taking on 5,426 cases, we have changed the life trajectory of almost 11,705 survivors and their children by helping them secure life-saving court orders and wrapping them in safety. 

Did you know that, on average, it costs $500 for TAP to cover legal services for one victim? However, all TAP clients receive our legal and social services at NO cost to them. Your support helps us keep it that way! Thanks to past support from donors we have been ready and able to provide critical services for survivors in need.

This may look like...

• A protective order for a survivor's immediate safety
• Terminating an abuser's parental rights to ensure a child is never hurt by that parent again
• Safety planning with every survivor that speaks to one of our attorneys
• Mental health services so survivors are better equipped to participate in the legal process to gain safety

Help us continue changing the lives of families in YOUR community who need life-saving services. Make a tax-deductible donation, and know that your donation will change someone's life... a priceless gift to those still battling for a life free from abuse.

ABOUT TEXAS ADVOCACY PROJECT

Texas Advocacy Project (TAP) works to end dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking in Texas. TAP empowers survivors through free legal and social services, as well as access to the justice system, and raises awareness through public outreach and education. Our attorneys, staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors are dedicated to our vision of a future where all Texans live free from abuse. 

Established in 1982 by a group of young lawyers, TAP started as a legal hotline. In the decades since, they have evolved into an expert on legal issues affecting survivors. TAP’s comprehensive approach addresses both the legal and social needs of survivors. They offer a statewide legal line, free civil legal services, and social services tailored to survivors’ unique challenges. TAP’s solutions provide both immediate protection and long-term stability, including protective orders, termination of abusers’ parental rights, and child custody modifications. They also assist with civil legal matters that can impact abuse cases, such as housing, employment, education, and financial empowerment. Texas Advocacy Project serves all Texans. Additionally, TAP offers educational seminars, available in person, virtually, and on demand, with eligibility for CEUs, CLEs, and other professional development credits.
