Texas Defender Services (TDS) mission is to promote a fair and just criminal justice system in Texas.
The mission of Texas Defender Service (TDS) is to promote a fair and just criminal justice system in Texas. TDS' goals are to reduce unfair use of the death penalty in Texas and to establish an indigent defense system that works.
The Mitigation Project investigates arguments for mercy in pretrial and post-conviction cases where the client faces the possibility of a death sentence.
The Post-Conviction Project provides pro bono legal services to indigent defendants who have already been convicted of a capital crime through: (1) targeted case consulting with court appointed lawyers designed to ensure the preservation of potentially meritorious claims in state and federal court; and, (2) systematic data collection, which will provide TDS with even more detailed information about cases and clients from the inception of appellate proceedings. TDS also provides post-conviction attorney trainings which identify developing issues in cases, and educate and equip lawyers to better handle these challenges. These defense team trainings and case consultation are services critical to improving the quality of representation in criminal cases in Texas. Essential tasks include maintaining and increasing TDS database of forensic experts, serving as a liaison between appellate defense teams and experts, and providing targeted support to defense teams through case consultation and identification of recurring systemic issues in capital trials.
