Texas ADR Centers

Community dispute resolution centers (or mediation centers) are available in most of the major population centers in Texas. The dispute resolution centers vary in administrative structure, but generally rely on cooperative efforts between the Commissioners Court, citizen advisory boards and the local Bar Association.
