Help change the justice system! Texas RioGrande Public Defender is opening a first-ever public defender's office in Eagle Pass, Texas that will service Maverick, Dimmit and Zavala Counties. This is a transformative opportunity to establish gold-standard representation in an area that has never had consistent, systemic access to justice for poor people accused of crimes. After years of these jurisdictions' failing to provide effective assistance of counsel, the Maverick Regional Public Defenders Office (Maverick RPDO) will alter the landscape of criminal justice in these critical border counties. TRGPD is looking for a zealous, client-centered, and visionary changemaker to spearhead justice in communities that have been left behind for too long. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advance justice, for those who dare.
