36 People Freed
Wrongful convictions are
more common than you think.
Wrongful convictions devastate lives and families all over Texas — and fighting a wrongful conviction can be nearly impossible. Innocence Project of Texas provides free, first-class investigative and legal services to people incarcerated for crimes they did not commit.
Innocence Project of Texas exists to free those wrongfully convicted, reform policies that imprison the innocent, and educate the public to drive lasting change.
There are an estimated
3,000-9,000 Texans
serving sentences due to
wrongful convictions.

Successful Exonerations
Exonerations and the releases that often precede them are
expensive and laborious, but we’re extremely proud of the
results we’ve achieved over the last 17 years.
However, there is still more work to do.
