Established in 2022 with a disaster grant from the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), the Disaster Legal Services Unit (DLSU) offers education and free legal services to low-income individuals affected by a disaster. Our staff conducts outreach to educate the community about common legal issues after a disaster, and the services LANWT provides to help resolve them.
We coordinate with local LANWT offices in responding to disasters to ensure that those impacted by a disaster receive the help they need in a timely manner. The DLSU acquired and distributed Technology Go-Packs throughout our service area to enable staff to respond to a disaster quickly and provide legal services, even in areas where there is a lack of cell service or local power outages. The DLSU provides disaster preparedness education, advises people of their rights and services available after a disaster, and provides legal services in the many legal issues that arise after a disaster.
The DLSU can help eligible individuals with:
Two evacuation centers are open due to the Ross Fire in Palo Pinto and Jack Counties. The first center located at the Twin Lakes Community Activity Center at 1114 TX-59, Jacksboro, TX. The second center is located at the Young County Area at 120 Barclay Blvd., Graham, TX.
