Our Mission
The Texas Wing legal officers are responsible for advising and assisting Civil Air Patrol commanders and unit personnel at all levels on the legal aspects of CAP operations and activities. This assistance includes interpretation of laws, regulations, and directives; advising and negotiating contracts and agreements; assisting with claims, insurance, fund raising, and real estate issues; and coordination with local agencies.
Legal officers are also called upon to investigate complaints, conduct safety investigations, and review documents in connection with personnel actions. All CAP legal officers must be licensed attorneys currently authorized to practice law before the highest court of a state or the District of Columbia.
