WELCOME

The purpose of the Dallas Lawyers Auxiliary is to support the Dallas legal community by:

• Assisting in promoting the efficient administration of justice;
• Stimulating interest among the members and others in governmental and community affairs;
• Promoting sociability among its members;
• Lending support, where the General Board may deem appropriate, to any educational or civic enterprise, particularly those which are law-related, deemed to promote welfare to the community

To fulfill this purpose, the Dallas Lawyers Auxiliary publishes Now You Are 18, a copyrighted legal education booklet. The purpose of the book is to explain some of the new rights acquired, areas of the law that one should know about, as well as the legal obligations once reaching the legal age in the state of Texas.
