TX :: Child Protective Services Handbook :: Kinship Manual :: How can I get an attorney? :: Intro

You can find an attorney by calling: 

  • Your local legal aid office. 
  • The State Bar of Texas lawyer referral service at (800) 252-9690. 
  • The Legal Hotline for Texans at  (800) 622-2520. 

The court will appoint a special attorney for the child, known as an attorney ad litem. The court may also appoint a person called a guardian ad litem to represent the child’s best interests. A guardian ad litem may or may not be an attorney.
