Relive this special moment from our Citizenship Day celebration as we welcomed and celebrated Harris County’s newest naturalized citizens!

This day was a meaningful reminder of our commitment to expanding access to naturalization services that help eligible residents navigate the path to citizenship through workshops, public events, application assistance and trusted legal service providers.

Thank you to Harris County Precinct One, Rodney Ellis, and the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) for helping make this celebration possible and supporting residents on their journey toward citizenship.
