RE: Osopale / LEGAL AID APPLICATION NUMBER:
23-1001459 - 62 Homeownership/Real Property (Not Foreclosure) Application for Legal Services Closing Letter
Dear Ms. Osopale:
Thank you for contacting Lone Star Legal Aid for help with your legal problem. It was a pleasure talking to you. We gave you legal advice regarding your Homeownership/Real Property
(Not Foreclosure) matter. We are not able to help everyone who applies because we do not have enough staff. The legal advice we gave you is all the help we can give you. Your file is now closed.
There are some other places you can go to get help. You can call the State Bar of Texas, Lawyer Referral Service at 1-800-***-****. You can also go online to the Texas Law Help website at www.texaslawhelp.org for more legal help. If you do visit this website, you will find a form that will allow you to ask the court to waive court fees because you have a very low income. If you use this form, you should attach the Documentation of Financial Eligibility for Legal Assistance that we are sending with this letter. You can also look at the Local Resources we are sending with this letter. Feel free to call us if you have any other legal problems. Sincerely,
Britnee Chism
