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.
