Texas Appleseed
Texas Appleseed is a public interest justice center. As a nonprofit, Texas Appleseed works to change unjust laws and policies that prevent Texans from realizing their full potential. We anchor a dynamic network of pro bono partners and collaborators. Together, we develop and advocate for innovative and practical solutions to complex issues. We make this possible by conducting data-driven research to uncover inequity in laws and policies, and then identify solutions for lasting change. Our projects include dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline, payday and auto title lending reform, foster care reform, encouraging diversity in the legal profession, improving lives through disaster recovery and fair housing opportunities, criminal justice reform, among other issues. When justice is beyond reach, Texas Appleseed provides the ladder.
