TLSC Film Nights: A Few Good Men with Special Guest Lt General Gwen Bingham

TLSC Film Night is back in Austin!

We invite you to enjoy an evening at the theater while supporting the critical work of Texas Legal Services Center. TLSC Film Nights is a film series spotlighting stories of justice and resilience. This November, we're honoring Texas Veterans by screening A Few Good Men to raise awareness about access to justice, especially for Texas Veterans.

In honor of Veterans Day, special legal events and clinics are being held across the state for Texas Veterans Legal Aid Week (TVLAW). Our program, Veterans Legal Assistance Program, serves veterans all year long. Through this program, veterans receive assistance with critical services not only help them secure their health and financial well-being; it gives veterans the diginity and respect that they deserve.

Stay tuned for more updates to this November's Film Night!

Texas Legal Services Center is a statewide nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide high-quality legal representation, advice, advocacy and education at no cost to underserved people across the state. With more than a dozen practice areas, our work touches almost every aspect of civil law that impacts low-income Texans.
