TX added info about advocate confidentiality new law

May 2018

Based on a new law in Texas, we added information about conversations with an advocate being privileged and confidential to the question called Step 1: Go to the district attorney’s office or the courthouse to file. All changes made in English and Spanish. We also added three related statutes in English to the Selected Texas Statutes page.
