| Featured Member of the Week! |
This week the Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce proudly features the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas as our Member Monday! The Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas (LRS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1966. "Lawyer Referral refers about 12,000 callers to the Central Texas attorneys each year, assisting those who need referrals in Travis, Hays, Bastrop, and Williamson counties. The program was designed to assist persons who are able to pay normal attorney fees but whose ability to locate legal representation is frustrated by a lack of experience with the legal system, a lack of information about the type of services needed, or a fear of the potential costs of seeing a lawyer. The referral is free. If you consult with a lawyer, you will be charged only $20 for up to thirty minutes (the $20 consultation fee is forwarded to LRS)." Contact the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas for your next legal inquiries. Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas

On such occasions my default answer is Grace Hopper's famous quotation. Read more.

The survey also found that 20.4 percent of Austin's residents were underbanked. That is slightly higher than the national rate of 20.1 percent, according to the FDIC. Read more.
