Texas Community Building with Attorney Resources ("Texas C-BAR") is the only project of its kind in Texas, providing free business law services across the state to community-based nonprofits developing affordable housing and other much-needed services in low-income communities. Texas C-BAR was founded in 2000 with the support of the Texas Bar Foundation and continues as a successful program today due to the support we receive from more than 45 law firms, hundreds of volunteer attorneys, the State Bar, and numerous other funders and participants.
Our program is modeled on established business law pro bono referral programs around the country, including programs in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Georgia, Detroit, Boston, and New York. Business law pro bono projects have been endorsed by organizations such as the ABA's Section of Business Law and the American Corporate Counsel Association in recognition of the fact that these programs provide business lawyers with opportunities to volunteer their expertise in ways that many litigation-oriented pro bono programs do not offer.
