There are five aspects of TDS' work, all of which aim to improve the fairness of the proceedings or quality of representation provided to indigent persons in Texas, as follows: (See Schedule O)* Litigation Department provides direct representation post-conviction litigation and consulting to reduce new death sentences. The litigation department also consults on high-risk pre-trial cases on which the mitigation unit is appointed.* Mitigation Unit provides direct representation as mitigation specialists on capital and non-capital cases across the state. The unit focuses on pre-trial cases to reduce new death sentences.* Policy Advocacy provides systemic research, advocacy, and report publication regarding the Texas death penalty and criminal justice issues.* Capital Litigation Communication is a comprehensive campaign designed to increase the chances for capital litigation success and erode public confidence in the death penalty.Desc
