Individual with required hours
Use this path when a Texas court, probation office, school, or approved agency has assigned service hours to you directly.
Texas required-service support
Texas service hours that hold up.
Set up court, probation, school, guardian, or agency service before the first hour is worked. Shared World keeps private intake separate from public volunteering and helps approved hours become usable records.
Current coverage Texas only
Protected intake Court, probation, guardian, agency
Records Approved hours only
Confirm acceptance before hours start.
Rules come from the court, probation office, school, guardian, caseworker, or agency. Do not assume hours will count until the required authority accepts the nonprofit and the activity.
Choose the correct route
Required service is not one generic signup.
The right route depends on who assigned the hours, who must supervise them, and who needs to verify the final record.
Ward or supervised minor
A guardian-of-record, caseworker, or authorized agency contact must be connected before placement. This is not open self-placement.
Texas court, probation, or agency
Texas agencies can request liaison access. Placement and hour records stay separate from public volunteer pages.
Before hours count
The record is only as strong as the setup.
Acceptance is confirmed first
Your court, probation officer, school, caseworker, or agency must accept the nonprofit and the activity before hours begin.
Private details stay private
Legal name, case details, SPN, officer contacts, guardian details, and protected-placement notes stay inside the private workspace.
Only eligible work counts
Required-service volunteers should use Texas opportunities that can accept the service goal and any placement restrictions.
Hours are reviewed
Submitted hours move through nonprofit review. Supervised placements may require co-signing before records are exported.
Record flow
How a Texas service record moves.
This flow protects the participant, the host nonprofit, and the court or agency that has to trust the final record.

Volunteer release
Before you start court-ordered service.
Court-ordered volunteers are still volunteers. Shared World and coalition nonprofits do not provide health, accident, auto, or liability insurance for you. You assume the risks of volunteer work and release Shared World, Netism, coalition nonprofits, host communities, and their personnel from liability for injuries arising from service, to the fullest extent permitted by Texas law.
If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must sign a separate consent before any hours can count toward your requirement.
