Justice begins here.

About us

Texas RioGrande Legal Aid provides free legal services to people who cannot afford an attorney in 68 southwestern counties, including the entire Texas-Mexico border. TRLA attorneys specialize in more than 45 areas of law, including family, employment, disaster assistance, landlord-tenant, housing, education, and civil rights. TRLA was initially formed in 1970 to provide legal services to poor people, primarily farmworkers, in a handful of South Texas counties. Our continuing work with migrant and seasonal workers now extends to all of Texas and has expanded into Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. With our commitment to providing high-quality legal services and empowering communities, we are working to ensure that justice truly begins here.

    🤲 As Hispanic Heritage month comes to an end - recognized annually from September 15th through October 15th - we are proud to share another story part of the TRLA Historical Impact Litigation Series. 🧤Today, 78% of farmworkers in the U.S. identify as Hispanic or Latino. They are subjected to unethical working conditions each day they work. ⚖️ This story, dating back over 32 years, shows how a community coming together to fight for what is right can impact labor rights. Please enjoy.
