WHAT IS THE SIGN UP FUND?
The Sign Up Fund was started with generous help from the Texas Bar Foundation (TBF). The Fund is a way to make sure that you can talk to your attorney whether you need an interpreter, CART, or any other communication access. It is a way for you to understand your attorney because now your attorney can use money from the Fund to get you a sign language interpreter or even CART whenever you need to meet with your attorney.
Some things to know about Sign Up Fund:
– Money from the Fund is for interpreters or CART or other communication access when a deaf person meets with his/her lawyer outside of court.
– Money from the Fund is not for paying the lawyer or legal services.
– Money from the Fund is not for interpreters or CART or other access in courts.
– Money from the Fund is only for a deaf person to talk with Texas lawyers.
There may be exceptions. Please e-mail for more information if you have a question about this.
Sign Up is available for use until around Summer 2008 or when the money is used up. Many lawyers do not know about this Fund, so if you have a lawyer, let them your lawyer know about the Fund! If you believe this Fund is helpful and you want to see this Fund again in the future, PLEASE e-mail with your support or questions. This will let us know about your needs and will let us know whether Sign Up is helping YOU.
