ACLU of Texas

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Texas · Free

State affiliate defending LGBTQ+ civil rights. Worth contacting after workplace, housing, or healthcare discrimination — most cases have a tight statute of limitations. Many name/gender change clinics happen monthly at LGBTQ+ centers; bring photo ID, court fee waiver paperwork, and birth certificate. Some states still have anti-LGBTQ+ adoption restrictions for religious agencies; private secular agencies are usually safer. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
