Innocence Project of Texas

Innocence Project of Texas was founded in 2006 by two criminal defense attorneys, current Executive Director Mike Ware and Jeff Blackburn, who volunteered their time to free the innocent. Since that time, IPTX has grown to be one of the leading innocence organizations in the country having exonerated or freed 28 people.

IPTX is dedicated to correcting past injustices, preventing future wrongful convictions, and giving hope to people who feel that they are out of options. As a nonprofit organization, IPTX relies on community support to free the innocent, reform criminal justice practices, and educate the public about wrongful convictions.
