About the Company

At TCRP, we are Texas lawyers for Texas communities. We use our unique community lawyering model to empower Texas communities and create the policy changes necessary for a fairer, more just Texas.
In our 30+ year history, we have brought thousands of strategic lawsuits, defending voting rights, reforming systems of criminal (in)justice, and fighting for the rights of immigrant families and those in our borderland communities.
Our efforts have helped countless low-income and otherwise marginalized Texans and have widely advanced equality and justice.
TCRP comprises three regional offices across Texas with over 40 employees and an annual budget of over $7 million dollars.
TCRP currently operates under a hybrid work policy, allowing remote work from anywhere in Texas and requiring travel and in-person attendance for specified work activities.
The in-person activities are typically based out of any of the Texas Civil Rights Projects locations: Alamo (in the Rio Grande Valley), Austin, and Houston.
We are proud of our work, welcome innovative thinkers, and offer flexibility to different people’s styles and strengths.
