"One of the core values of Seminary of the Southwest is rootedness. Being aware of our context and how that shapes our common life means paying attention to the story of Texas and race. As a seminary the powerful currents of race has shaped our common life, often in unseen ways. As part of being more reflective on how race is a factor in who we are collectively, we have developed this list of resources."
- The Rev. Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, PhD, Duncalf-Villavaso Professor of Church History

We are Texas lawyers and advocates for Texas communities, boldly serving the movement for equality and justice in and out of the courts. We envision a Texas where all communities thrive with dignity and justice, and without fear.
TCRP believes that legal advocacy and litigation are critical tools to protect and advance the civil rights of everyone in Texas, particularly our State’s most vulnerable populations, and to effect positive and lasting change to law and policy. We believe that by serving the rising social justice movement in Texas with excellent legal representation and bold strategies, we can respond to the needs of the communities we serve.
