X. Pro Bono Program: A number of attorneys have expressed an interest in representing a party before this Court for no charge, except for costs and expenses. Whether they would agree to represent you would depend on your financial need and a number of other factors. A Pro Bono Committee of local lawyers will make the decision, without input from this Court, as to whether your case qualifies for such free legal representation. If you feel your financial situation might qualify you for this help, and you would like to be considered for such help, complete the information in this section. More information regarding this program can be found in the Pro Bono Program Pamphlet for the Second Court of Appeals available in paper form at the Clerk’s Office or on the Internet at http://www.tex-app.org NOTE: There is no guarantee that an attorney will be found to represent you. Accordingly, you should keep looking for counsel to represent you in this case. By signing your name below, you authorize the Pro Bono Committee to transmit publicly available facts and information about your case, including parties and background, through selected Internet sites and a Listserv to its pool of volunteer appellate attorneys.
1. Do you want to be considered for free legal representation in this case? Yes G No G If you answered “Yes” to Question X.1, then please answer the following questions.
2. Do you authorize the Pro Bono Committee to contact your trial counsel of record in this matter to answer questions the Committee may have regarding this case? Please note that the substance of any such conversations would be maintained as confidential by the Pro Bono Committee , to the extent permitted by law. The information would be used solely for the purposes of considering the case for inclusion in the Pro Bono Program. Yes G No G
3. If you have not previously filed an affidavit of indigency and attached a file-stamped copy of that affidavit, does your income exceed 200% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines?
