Legal Advocacy
Save Our Springs Alliance (SOS) attorneys provide a legal voice for the Central/South Texas Hill Country through direct legal action.
SOS focuses most of its actions on the largest threats to water, wildlife and conservation lands, including major highway expansions, regulatory rollbacks, and wastewater discharge permits. Throughout the years, SOS has successfully used litigation to preserve water quality regulations, secure endangered species protections, enhance standards for wastewater disposal, and hold local governments accountable for violations to open meetings and public information laws.
Outside the courtroom, SOS participates in legal research, educational outreach and policy development to assist local governmental entities in adopting and implementing strong environmental rules and standards. Additionally, SOS tracks and reviews development permits, road construction and other development-related activity to ensure that current environmental regulations are being followed.
As a non-profit organization, with limited resources, SOS must prioritize its work to ensure it is fulfilling its underlying mission to protect the Edwards Aquifer. In furtherance of this mission and in accordance with need, SOS occasionally offers low-cost legal service to other non-profit organizations related to environmental protection.
