Innocence Project of Texas
The Innocence Project of Texas was founded in 2007 by the directors of several independent actual innocence organizations in the State of Texas. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to overturning wrongful convictions, and it is staffed by students, volunteers, dedicated attorneys, and an experienced Board of Directors. The organization is based in Lubbock, Texas, but it accepts cases from across the state. The Innocence Project of Texas investigates both DNA and non-DNA cases.
The Innocence Project of Texas is a member of the recently formed Innocence Network, which brings together a number of innocence organizations from across the United States.[1]
