Spanish in Houston
Harris County has one of the largest Spanish-speaking populations in the country. Most families have Mexican roots, and Houston also has some of the largest Salvadoran, Honduran and Guatemalan communities in the United States, so Central American Spanish is as common in Houston's depositions and clinics as Mexican Spanish.
Texas licenses court interpreters, and in Harris County depositions, mediations and court-ordered arbitrations count as court proceedings, so Spanish legal work calls for a Licensed Court Interpreter. For medical work, AMS books CCHI or NBCMI certified Spanish interpreters.
Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include Gulfton, the East End and Magnolia Park, the Northside, Alief, Sharpstown and Pasadena.
