Texas RioGrande Legal Aid

TRLA’s mission is to provide exceptional legal advice and representation to impoverished people.

TRLA’s legal team specializes in 45+ practice areas and we leverage this diverse expertise to address as many intersecting legal issues as possible for our clients. We offer legal advice, education, and representation.

Our passionate legal advocates serve low-income people across 68 counties in Texas. Spanning from El Paso to the Gulf Coast, our service area includes the entirety of the Texas-Mexico border, all of South Texas, and the majority of Central Texas. Additionally, our office in Nashville is dedicated to assisting farmworkers across six southern states.

In the words of Executive Director Robert Doggett, “Every day at TRLA, we meet the most vulnerable among us, listen to their struggles, and try our best to help them obtain justice.”
