Mission

To provide timely and compassionate legal services to low income persons diagnosed with terminal illnesses or HIV-disease.

About

Legal Hospice of Texas is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) law firm established in 1989 to specifically address the health related, civil legal needs of low-income individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness or HIV-disease. LHT provides free legal counsel, representation, and advocacy to clients who are HIV positive or terminally ill; cannot afford an attorney; reside in our service area; and have legal challenges relating to or impacting their health. When LHT began in 1989, the primary need for our clients was estate planning. Advances in medical technology and knowledge have dramatically changed the needs of our clients and the nature of our services. Our clients are now living longer and more productive lives. Consequently, the legal issues they face are new and even more complicated. In 2007, the Board of Directors registered the DBA Legal Hospice of Texas as more reflective of our current organization and its growing geographic area of services.Legal Hospice of Texas served 659 clients last year. In our 29 years of operation, we have assisted over 15,500 clients. In appeals of denied benefits, we have recovered back awards in excess of $2,970,000, and we have also mediated forward awards in excess of $20,000 per month; all of this to provide a higher quality of life for our clients and their families as they struggle with extreme health problems.We currently have a staff of five full-time. Volunteers provide significant support to the agency as well as direct services to clients, and include attorneys, notaries, paraprofessionals, language interpreters, office/clerical support, and special events support. Last year 255 volunteers donated 1,220 hours with an estimated value of $142,740
