LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Greetings!    

As we welcome in 2012, it is pleasure to serve as Chair of the Hispanic Issues Section of the State Bar of Texas.  We look forward to the year ahead as many exciting issues that impact the Hispanic Community of Texas are on the horizon. 

The HIS will continue to work on projects that will impact Texans across all racial and economic lines.  We are proud to support the publication of Justice for All calendars that will be printed in different languages to assist low income Texans around the State.  The publication contains a wealth of information designed to provide basic information about various legal issues.

In addition, the HIS is looking forward to assisting in the promotion of different projects sponsored by the Texas Access to Justice Foundation.  The Foundation, which assists low income Texans, felt the impact of recent budget cuts, and HIS is ready and willing to help in any way to raise awareness of the needs of this organization.

Thank you for your interest in the Hispanic Issues Section of the State Bar of Texas. 

Sincerely,

Jana Ortega, J.D.
Chair, Hispanic Issues Section, 2011-2012
