Immigration in Hidalgo County and the Rio Grande Valley
Few areas of Texas have stronger cultural and family connections to Mexico and Latin America than Hidalgo County.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, more than nine out of every ten Hidalgo County residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, while approximately one-quarter of the county’s population is foreign-born. Immigration is therefore not simply a national policy issue here—it directly affects families throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
Those connections can also create complicated immigration questions.
Some families include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, visa holders, and relatives living outside the United States. Others may have family members who have lived in South Texas for years but still need to determine whether they have a pathway toward lawful immigration status.
Our immigration lawyers help clients evaluate these circumstances individually.

Family Immigration in Hidalgo County
Many immigration cases in the Rio Grande Valley begin with the same goal: bringing a family together or helping loved ones remain together in the United States.
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents may be able to petition for certain relatives, but eligibility and processing procedures depend on the particular family relationship, immigration history, and other circumstances.
Before beginning the process, an attorney can help determine which immigration pathway may apply and identify potential problems that should be considered before filing.
