Interpreter Service

As you are aware, many interpreter agency services are facing challenges in the 21st century. Deaf and hard of hearing Texans are increasingly requesting various interpreting services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. This high demand can often be overwhelming. It’s evident that more individuals are capitalizing on this opportunity by pursuing interpreter education and starting their own businesses throughout Texas.

This is positive news. Despite our best efforts, certain issues such as timing, subpar interpreting, interpreter unavailability, and misunderstandings may persist. So, what actions can we take? It’s crucial to communicate your concerns to the specific agency and express your dissatisfaction with their service. Presently, we have convenient methods of contact available, including phone calls, emails, faxes, and in-person meetings. Thus, there is no excuse for not registering complaints and failing to report them to the agency.

Our primary objective is to grant you extensive access to all interpreter agencies through this website. If you notice any omissions, please send me an email, and I will review and incorporate the missing information into the list. For freelance interpreters: If you are self-employed and wish to offer your services to these agencies in the future, kindly inform me, and I will include your name and contact details in our list.
