Fort Bend Lawyers Care (FBLC) is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 by the Fort Bend County Bar Association.1 Its mission is to provide low-income Fort Bend County residents with equal access to justice through volunteer lawyers.13 FBLC coordinates a process that allows volunteer attorneys to accept legal cases of qualified clients, offering pro bono legal assistance to those in need.1

The organization provides several services:

  1. Monthly Family Law Workshop: Held on the first Wednesday of each month from 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m., where volunteer attorneys answer family law questions for low-income citizens.1

  2. LegalLine: A bi-weekly service on Fridays offering free legal advice by phone to low-income Fort Bend County residents.1

  3. Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans program: Assisting low-income military veterans with civil legal services.1

FBLC also offers legal advice over the phone once a week and a family law workshop every 1st Wednesday of the month from 6:30 pm to 8 pm.2

It's important to note that some sources indicate that Fort Bend Lawyers Care may no longer be an active nonprofit organization.45 However, as of the current date (January 17, 2025), there is no definitive information confirming its closure or inactive status.
