Collin County On April 1 the county opened a new help center for qualified indigent residents to use in family law cases.

The new Collin County Self-Help Center at the Collin County Courthouse, 2100 Bloomdale Road, is staffed with a lawyer to help those who cannot afford filing fees and are representing themselves in cases including divorce, suits affecting parent-child relationships, or modifications of final divorce decrees.

An attorney will be available for walk-in customers from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and by appointment only on other days.
