TRLA Begins Legal Outreach in the Aftermath of Texas Floods

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – As humanitarian aid efforts begin to help those affected by massive flooding across Texas, Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) is working with disaster victims to address the legal aftermath of the summer storms.

The TRLA Disaster Assistance team has concentrated its outreach efforts in counties that have been declared federal disaster areas. These counties include Bee, Burnet, Guadalupe, Llano, Medina, Nueces, Starr, Travis, Victoria, Webb, Williamson, and Zavala. However, TRLA anticipates additional legal resources will be needed in counties proclaimed state disaster areas such as Blanco, Gillespie, and Mason.
