Our History
The Texas Immigration Council was founded in 2023 after a advisory group of 14 nonprofit leaders and grant makers came together and recognized that there was a missing element in the state’s immigrant justice ecosystem: a nonpartisan Center that could serve as a statewide base to make new, expert resources available to legal service providers and for coordinating public policy work.
