Refugee Services of Texas (RST) is the largest refugee resettlement agency in the state, providing comprehensive services to a wide range of displaced populations. We serve refugees, asylees, individuals with Special Immigrant Visas, Cuban-Haitian entrants, Central American minors, survivors of human trafficking, and other vulnerable populations. RST provides services to eligible individuals regardless of race, color, nationality, English proficiency, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
RST provides services to hundreds of refugees, asylees, survivors of human trafficking, and related vulnerable populations from over 30 different countries of origin each year. Originating in Dallas, RST now has service centers in Amarillo, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, the Rio Grande Valley, and San Antonio. RST services provide housing and basic needs such as food and clothing, individualized case management, employment and job placement services, English language training, trauma-informed mental health care, immigration legal services, and much more. Most importantly, RST is a source of empowerment and support for individuals rebuilding their lives in Texas.
RST simultaneously caters to the local communities that welcome the populations we serve by providing education, training, and volunteer programming.
