There's a service at Texas State University that can help students who need legal assistance. In this Bobcat Update, Christina Tafoya tells us about how the service works, should the need arise.

Many students live off-campus, or they would like to soon. That means they'll have to sign apartment leases and enter an agreement that is legally binding. Sometimes the students are charged excessive fees. Occasionally, they're scammed. That's when the campus attorney's office can help. Attorneys who work in the office can provide free, legal advice.
SB:  FitzPatrick
Students are advised on the appropriate steps to help them win their case. The staff consists of three attorneys who can help in criminal matters, labor law and landlord-tenant disputes
SB: FitzPatrick
The campus attorneys are not allowed to represent students in court. Their office is located on the fifth floor of the L-B-J Student Center.  Students seeking legal help must schedule an appointment.
