As you know that many interpreter agency service are growing pain in 21st century. More and more deaf and hard of hearing Texans request for some kind of interpreting service everyday 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and all holidays. Yes, they do get overwhelming all the times. We can see that more people are taking advantage of this opportunity to get into high demand business by going to school to learn to be a interpreter and as well as starting their own business all over Texas. This is good news.

No matter how hard we try, there will be always issues such as not on time schedule, lousy interpreting, interpreter not available, misunderstanding, and so on. So, what can we do about it? Make sure we report concern to specific agency and let them know you are not happy with their service. Today, we have easier to access to them by call, e-mail, fax, see in person, so on and it is no excuse for you to complain and did not report to agency.

Our goal to give you full access as much as possible to all interpreter agency on this web site. If you see something that are not on list, e-mail to me and I will review and add on list. To free lance service: If you work for yourself and want to let them know you can be a service for them in the future, let me know and I will add your name and how to reach you on our list.
