Trump Budget Proposal Would Eliminate Legal Services for Tens of Thousands of Veterans, Low-Income Texans - The Texas Lawbook Legal aid activists in Texas are “deeply concerned” that President Donald Trump’s proposed fiscal year 2026 budget calls for eliminating Legal Services Corporation, the federal nonprofit that provides funding to legal aid organizations across the state that help military veterans access rightful benefits, victims recover from natural disasters, survivors of domestic violence obtain protective orders and more. In Texas, the proposed elimination threatens more than $45 million in annual grants that help fund three major legal aid organizations: Lone Star Legal Aid, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid. Those grants account for approximately one-third of these organizations’ total funding. 

👪 “We’re talking about our neighbors who are just one single hurdle away from losing everything, and oftentimes generationally,” Allison said.

🎨 TRLA's latest annual Justice Report features a version of our phoenix logo that takes inspiration from the tradition of alebrijes, a Mexican folk-art that originated in the 1930s.
