Texas Immigration Law Council

What Texas Immigration Law Council does

Texas Immigration Law Council (TxILC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2023 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, focused on immigrant rights advocacy, legal education, and detained-immigrant support across the state. The organization serves immigrants, refugees, and their families through a combination of educational content, policy work, and direct-service partnerships with established legal aid organizations including RAICES, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, the Texas Civil Rights Project, ABA ProBar, the UT Immigration Clinic, and the Amika Center.

TxILC's product surface is content-and-tool-based rather than technology-platform-based. It operates interactive data products (Immigration Data Dashboard, 287(g) Map, Detention Centers Map) and maintains a substantive legal content library that includes a Know Your Rights program, a 5th Circuit Immigration Outline, a Virtual Learning Series, and an Asylum Clinic in a Box curriculum. Programmatic initiatives include the Texas Panhandle Project (rural-focused), the Economic Justice Initiative, and a Storytelling Platform. There is no indication of proprietary software, machine-learning systems, or commercial SaaS offerings.

TxILC operates as a donation- and grant-funded nonprofit. The Texas Bar Foundation is the named institutional funder, with individual contributions supplementing. The organization employs 1-10 staff and is led by Founding Executive Director Anne Chandler, alongside Kristin Etter (Director of Policy and Legal Services) and Giselle Tervalon (Communication Strategist). No earned-income streams, fee-for-service models, or commercial pricing mechanics are present.
