n Friday, March 31, 2017, Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans – Tarrant County Chapter (TLTV) held a remote clinic at Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas (LANWT) to serve veterans residing in Hood County.

At the clinic, TLTV volunteers counseled veterans in Hood County through video conferencing at LANWT’s Fort Worth office. The organizations are grantees of Texas Access to Justice Foundation. TLTV thanks its many law student volunteers who attended, as well as volunteer attorneys John Corbin (Law Office of John Corbin), Michael McBride (J. Michael McBride, P.C.), Lynn Rodriguez (Texas A&M University School of Law), and Trevin Ware (Law Office of Trevin Ware) who counseled veterans and braved the new technology. g
