The Problem
In accordance with the Texas Demographic Center, 35% of Texans are from households that cannot speak English well, or English is not their native language. These households have difficulty understanding complex documentation, and often times, if applicable, turn to their children for inaccurate translations.
Our Solution
Tex-Late. A service that provides free, certified document translations with a focus on accessibility and efficiency. Users can book an online appointment, or drop off documents, and receive translations within three business days. Designed to meet diverse needs, it breaks language barriers for personal, legal, and corporate documents.
How Are We Free?
Tex-Late is made possible through the generous support of various grants, sponsorships, donations, and volunteers who work tirelessly to contribute their time and efforts into this one-stop translation station.
