DescCriminal Law Reform - The ACLU of Texas has seen many successes in this area at both the local and state levels. In Dallas, we have seen reforms such as: - No prosecution on misdemeanor possession of marijuana cases, as well as State Jail Felony and 3rd Degree Felony Possession of THC for first-time offenders whose offenses do not occur in a drug-free zone, involve the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon, or involve evidence of delivery. - Dismissed all pending misdemeanor marijuana cases filed before the new District Attorney took office. - No person will be prosecuted in Dallas County for possessing less than .01 grams of drug trace evidence. At the state level, the ACLU of Texas had significant achievements in the Texas legislative session. Working with our partners, we finally brought to an end the Driver Responsibility Program, which made traffic violations multi-thousand dollar crimes, leading to the incarceration of poor Texans who were unable to pay their fines and fees.Desc

DescOther Programs - Voting Rights seeks to protect every Texans legal right to vote in local, statewide, and national elections conducted in the State of Texas. Voter suppression laws have existed for decades prior to the Voting Rights Act of 1964 and continue in the State of Texas to this day. The objectives are to (1) ensure laws designed to suppress voter registration and voter turnout do not pass in the state legislature by educating and informing Texans of their legal rights to vote, and (2) mobilize Texans to advocate in their communities while also monitoring elections via hotlines and poll watchers to ensure voting rights are not violated during the election process.Desc

In the past year, ACLU of Texas has hosted 27 Congressional delegations at various locations on the Texas border to make them aware of the abuses of migrants as well as legal Texas residents by federal, state, & local law enforcement agencies. ACLU of Texas has conducted public awareness campaigns along the border and the Customs and Border Patrol checkpoints in addition to organizing and leading rallies and protests at ports of entry along the border.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Other Programs - Voting Rights seeks to protect every Texans legal right to vote in local, statewide, and national elections conducted in the State of Texas. Voter suppression laws have existed for decades prior to the Voting Rights Act of 1964 and continue in the State of Texas to this day. The objectives are to (1) ensure laws designed to suppress voter registration and voter turnout do not pass in the state legislature by educating and informing Texans of their legal rights to vote, and (2) mobilize Texans to advocate in their communities while also monitoring elections via hotlines and poll watchers to ensure voting rights are not violated during the election process.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 6: Explanation of Classes of Members or ShareholderThe organization has members who pay annual dues. A Texas resident who is a member in good standing with the National ACLU organization is thereby a member of ACLU of Texas. Subject to rules established by the National ACLU, a member who has left the state of Texas but wishes to retain membership in ACLU of Texas may do so.
