Veterans Assistance Committee

The Veterans Assistance Committee is comprised of current and former military members and people interested in military and veterans law issues. Our mission is to be a resource for TCDLA members who represent servicemembers or veterans. Reach out to us if you have any questions about the military criminal justice system (courts-martial), administrative separations, or issues unique to those who serve. Our annual event is the day-long Veterans Justice Clinic in February, with presentations on PTSD/TBI, VA issues, how Veterans Treatment Courts work in Texas, and more.
