About TCRP

For more than thirty years, the Texas Civil Rights Project has
been a committed partner to community organizers, families, and
advocacy groups across the state. Whether through litigation or
legal advocacy, the attorneys and advocates at TCRP work to
dismantle mass incarceration, fight discrimination in voting and
civic participation, and right injustices occurring at the Texas
border, all under a race equity lens. TCRP’s lawyers work with
coalitions of community-based organizations to identify injustices
facing Texas communities and develop systemic solutions using
litigation and other legal advocacy tools. For additional

attendance for specified work activities. The in-person activities
