Health & Safety Code Ch. 81 Lawyer Appointment List

The Texas Judiciary is preparing for the possibility of needing to hold hearings under Chapter 81, Health and Safety Code (quarantine). One of the provisions of the law requires the appointment of an attorney to represent the person who is subject to the quarantine if the person does not already have an attorney. To facilitate expediency, the Office of Court Administration is gathering the names and contact information of attorneys who are willing or interested in serving as appointed counsel in these cases. If you are interested and willing to serve as appointed counsel, please submit the following information. If you wish to learn more about the proceedings under Chapter 81, Health and Safety Code, please consider reviewing the “Control Measures and Public Health Emergencies” Bench Book published by the University of Houston Law Center.
