I was at a local Gun Show this weekend and Found Law Firm that had a booth there I stoped and asked what a law firm was doing at a gun show and they told me that they offer a program to texas chl holders basically you become a member/client for a annual fee or a monthly fee and in the event of a justifiable shooting, or you do not shoot they cover the all attorneys fees. and cover you in civil trials as well

Already a client.
I'm surprised the trainer/staff where you took your CHL or renewal class last didn't inform you of this.
 
When you say "in the event of a justifiable shooting" what does that mean?

Does that mean these guys get to decide whether the shooting was justified before covering your fees?

If the DA decides to prosecute it would be pretty easy to say that it was not justifiable. Why else would the DA prosecute?
 
I would say they mean as long as you aren't found guilty of homicide (not justified; i.e. murder/manslaughter) then you're covered. Kinda a different take on "we don't get paid unless you win", except in this case you don't pay unless you lose...
 
yeah my in my chl class my instructor never told us about the texas law shield program for chl holders or non chl holders... I signed up yesterday!
 
IIRC, one of Mas Ayoob's schools or affiliate schools offers a similar legal assistance program if you graduate from their school. I think it also includes expert testimony by the instructors. I think Ayoob himself has testified in some cases...
 
vranasaurus, if this is like the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network http://armedcitizensnetwork.org/ (alluded to by jgcoastie, run by Marty Hayes, and including Mas Ayoob amongst its expert defense witnesses), it means that they will start by assigning an investigator to look at the basic facts of the case. If it appears to be a good shooting by the association's standards, they will then assign a legal defense team.

Just because a case has been charged, does not mean it is prima facie a bad shooting. That could mean the DA thinks it might be; or it could mean the DA is the type who views any shooting as a bad shooting; or it could really be a bad shooting.

It does mean that if a shooting appears on its face to be bad to the association's investigative team, then one is not going to be assisted. Hopefully, nobody on TFL will be so poorly informed about justification as to involve himself in an obviously bad shooting.

Also to vranasaurus, here's a current thread about a case where a DA charged the shooter, even though the case seemed to be self-defense, and was ultimately determined to be self-defense: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=480050 In this case, the shooter might have really saved himself a lot of money and trouble by spending $85 a year on a membership.
