If you need to make an appointment with the legal advisor at Students’ Legal Services:

• Only Sam Houston State University students who are currently enrolled for the semester are eligible for legal consultations.
• Due to attorney-client privilege no legal advice will be given over the telephone or e-mail. You must schedule an appointment to speak with the legal advisor privately.
• Appointments must be scheduled. Various appointment times are available to meet student needs. Walk-in consultations are allowed in the summer and for true emergencies.
• To schedule an appointment, you may either call our office at (936) 294-1717 or come to our office in person. Students’ Legal Services is located in the Lowman Student Center in Room 330.
• You must bring your Bearkat One Card so that we can verify your identity and enrollment status.
• Always arrive several minutes prior to your appointment so that you can fill out an intake form.
• Bring all relevant documents concerning your legal issues with you to your appointment. Relevant documents include: traffic ticket(s), ordinance violation ticket(s), papers related to your arrest, lease(s), letters, contracts or anything else you consider relevant.

Cancellation Policy

This office recognizes that unexpected issues or events take place that prevent the student from attending their appointment. Clients are expected to call the office as soon as possible to cancel their appointment so that other students can be served at that time. Students who fail to cancel their appointment could become ineligible for further services for the remainder of the semester.

All student information is protected by attorney-client privilege and is treated confidentially by all personnel.
