The Texas Fair Defense Project is a nonprofit, legal-advocacy organization that works to improve the fairness and accuracy of Texas’s criminal justice system. TFDP’s work focuses on improving the public defense system and challenging policies that create modern-day debtors’ prisons filled with poor people who cannot afford to pay criminal fines and fees.
About Us
TFDP fights to make sure that people who are accused of criminal offenses aren’t stripped of their rights just because they don’t have enough money to defend themselves. We also work to make sure people who are convicted of crimes don’t leave the system with so much debt that they are unable to support themselves and their families.
TFDP uses a coordinated, multidimensional approach to achieve systemic change. TFDP’s work involves a unique balance of technical assistance, legislative, and administrative advocacy, and highly targeted and successful impact litigation.
