Spanish in Austin

About 200,000 Austin residents speak Spanish at home, more than one in five (Census ACS 2024). Two thirds of Hispanic Austinites have Mexican roots, and Austin has an unusually large Honduran community, the second-largest Hispanic group in the city. Growth has spread Spanish speakers into Dove Springs in southeast Austin and out to Manor, Elgin, Kyle and Pflugerville.

Austin has no immigration court of its own: cases are heard in San Antonio at 800 Dolorosa, and Austin addresses use the USCIS San Antonio Field Office, so many Austin interviews mean a drive south. Travis County's civil and family courts moved into the new Civil and Family Courts Facility at 1700 Guadalupe Street in early 2023, after its dedication in December 2022.

Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include Dove Springs, East Austin, Manor, Elgin, Kyle and Pflugerville.

State courts

  • Travis County Civil and Family Courts Facility, 1700 Guadalupe Street (in use since 2023)

Federal court

  • U.S. Courthouse, 501 West Fifth Street (Western District of Texas)

Immigration courts and USCIS

  • San Antonio Immigration Court, 800 Dolorosa (hears Austin cases)
  • USCIS San Antonio Field Office (serves Austin ZIP codes)

Hospitals

  • Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas
  • St. David's Medical Center
  • Dell Children's Medical Center

In counties of 50,000 or more, Texas courts must use a Licensed Court Interpreter (with a narrow exception for rare languages), licensed by the Judicial Branch Certification Commission at the Master designation (valid in all Texas courts) or the Basic designation (limited to justice and municipal courts that are not courts of record).
