We serve the legal research needs of the Court of Criminal Appeals, Supreme Court, Office of the Attorney General, state agencies, and Texas citizens. to 5 p.m.

Reference librarians are available to help library users locate information, identify relevant resources, and develop search strategies. Our librarians are careful to avoid the unauthorized practice of law (see Texas Government Code chapter 81, subchapter G and section 38.123 of the Texas Penal Code) and as such cannot give legal opinions, advice, or interpretation. We do not have attorneys on staff to advise you on how the law applies to a particular legal situation. Visit the library in person during our regular business hours: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. (except holidays). Call 1-844-829-2843 (toll-free) or (512) 463-1722 for immediate reference assistance during our regular business hours: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. Contact us online through our Ask-A-Librarian program and we will respond via email: http://www.sll.texas.gov/about-us/public-services/ask-a-librarian/submit-a-question/

🎉 Great news! Our library has been awarded a generous grant from the Texas Bar Foundation to develop the Texas Legal Oasis Project.

The project will create a free online training course for public librarians, giving them the tools and confidence to help community members find reliable legal information.

Librarians will learn how to:

• Point people toward trustworthy legal resources.
• Make referrals to the right organizations and professionals.
• Answer basic questions about common legal topics like divorce, landlord/tenant issues, and estate planning.
• Stay within the boundaries of their role (provide information, not legal advice).

You can read more about the Texas Legal Oasis Project on our website: https://www.sll.texas.gov/spotlight/2026/04/library-receives-a-grant-from-the-texas-bar-foundation/

Since its inception in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $30 million in grants to law-related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation's largest charitably-funded bar foundation.
