TLACT clinics are free for all participants!
Volunteer attorneys will help you correct your name and/or gender marker on your identifying documents (driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, etc.).
Please bring as many of the following documents as possible:
– License/ID
– Social security card
– Birth certificate
– Doctor’s letter
– Fingerprint card
You will eventually need all these documents to obtain your name and/or gender marker correction, but if you do not have any/all of them when you come to the clinic, that is okay. Our volunteers will help you figure out what documents you need and how to get them.
Please note that you must be a Texas resident to participate.

Trot for Trans Lives 5K
2023-06-11 10:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Holocaust Museum Houston, 5401 Caroline St, Houston, Texas, 77004
Hello friends!!

We are hosting a Trot for Trans Lives next Sunday, June 11th in Houston with Cal Dobs. They are doing a Trans Continental Run from LA to Florida to raise awareness about trans sports ban and the bans on gender-affirming care for minors. We are thrilled that Cal will be here to lead the Trot portion of the event. Our Clinic President, Pete Makopoulos-Sentfleber will lead the walk portion with his wife, Amy, and their son, MIlo.

There is an in-person option to Trot/Walk/Stroll the 5k (3.1 miles) with us and a virtual option if you can’t make it. The 5k is family friendly, including leashed dogs!

We will get started at 10 am with a couple of quick talks and start the Trot at 10:30!

The Trot will start at The Houston Holocaust Museum. Huge thanks to the Museum and The Boniuk Center for hosting the kick-off!
We will walk around a portion of Hermann Park and then up Crawford Street over to La Branch and end at Axelrad Beer Garden. Axelrad is happy to play host to our cool down party, there will be food trucks and a drink special for the event. Importantly, Axelrad is children and dog friendly!

Learn more about Cal here.

Save Our Sons and Brothers which is a is a Houston-based network for transmen of color that provides a space for us to share experiences, resources and exist as our most authentic selves.

We hope to see you there!!

FriendsGivingMas - Scholarship Fundraiser and Holiday Party
2022-12-05 17:30 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Bradshaw-Carter Memorial & Funeral Services, 1734 W Alabama St, Houston, TX, 77098, United States
Join us all on December 5, 2022 for the first inaugural FriendsGivingMas scholarship fundraiser and holiday party. This year, FriendsGivingMas is being generously hosted by one of Houston’s LGBT community leaders, Bradshaw Carter. Complementary valet, food, and drinks are all included with your ticket. But if you want to win the holiday trivia contest, make someone sing karaoke, or participate in the Great Stonewall Bakeoff, make sure to bring a little extra walking around money. All ticket prices and donations go to supporting our ELA Scholarship Fund, providing Houston area law students and recent graduates scholarships to help ensure the next generation of LGBT lawyers hits the ground running.

UPDATE 1: We’re happy to announce that there will be karaoke–with a twist! Feel free to make a small donation to the ELA Scholarship fund and sing to your heart’s content! Or chose to throw some shade and make someone else get up and sign a song of your choice. But watch out, your target can pay to pass the song along–or to send it right back to you! So make sure to come armed with small, non-consecutively numbered bills and a list of songs you know aren’t in anyone’s range.

Tickets for guests are available below, and Stonewall members–don’t forget to RSVP via the PaperlessPost invitation. We hope to see you there!

A huge thank you to our sponsors:
