Click here to read the proclamation awarded to attorney Cindi Lazzari by The State Bar of Texas Entertainment and Sports Law Section. Lazzari - who died in 2007 after a long battle with cancer - was a zealous advocate for artist rights. In 2005, she guided new state legislation that expanded the definition of artists to include musicians, thus protecting their consignment CDs from bankruptcy seizure.

Established: 1979
Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts (TALA) was formed in 1979 to help meet the legal and accounting needs of artists and arts nonprofits across the State of Texas. TALA volunteers throughout the state handle more than 350 matters per year. This amounts to more than six hundred thousand dollars annually in donated services to the arts and cultural community. TALA’s pro bono legal and accounting services are offered to artists from all creative disciplines, including visual artists, musicians, actors, dancers, film makers and writers. Over 600 attorneys and accountants volunteer their time each year, assisting in legal and accounting matters that might otherwise remain unresolved and unrepresented.
