Our History
In 2010, MABAH enters its 38th year of service to the Hispanic Attorney and, most importantly, to the Hispanic community. It is one of the largest Hispanic law organizations in the State of Texas with a diversity of talent, expertise and leadership.
Since 1986, MABAH has co-sponsored with the Houston Bar Association, a monthly call-a-lawyer project called "Consejos Legales," providing free legal advice in Spanish. MABAH has established itself as one of the most effective, specialized bar associations of the State Bar of Texas. MABAH is a founding chapter of The Mexican American Bar Association of Texas. It was one of the first Texas chapters of the Hispanic National Bar Association.
MABAH is proud of the diverse nationalities of its members: Puerto Rican, Argentinean, Mexican, Cuban, Mexican-American and non-Hispanic. It is truly representative of the Hispanic Community of Metropolitan Houston, and as dynamic. Tradition and established recognition are the reasons we have chosen to remain known as The Mexican American Bar Association. Membership is open to any licensed attorney, members of the judiciary, or graduate of an accredited law school.
