The Law of the Land has been prepared to inform U.S. immigrants and Texans about their legal rights and responsibilities under Texas and federal law. Many individuals are often unaware of their legal rights and responsibilities and, consequently, encounter financial hardships in an effort to resolve or defend against legal matters that could have been easily avoided. Moreover, with the recent terrorist acts on September 11 th, new immigration and naturalization laws, regulations and policies will significantly change the manner in which immigrants are treated in the United States.

A video in English and Spanish is available as a supplement to this brochure. The Law of the Land booklet addresses important areas if personal rights and responsibilities through a series of questions and answers and provided useful contact information in an appendix. While the other projects highlighted in this section are best presented to students in a classroom setting, Law of the Land is designed to be presented to new U.S. citizen adults at Naturalization ceremonies.
