Today marks the launch of the Higher Education & Learning in Prison – Texas network, HELPTX. We are excited you’re here. The mission of this page is simple: we want to provide an online space for alumni of Texas prison college and university programs in Texas to connect and share information.

We’ve provided links to resources to help you, but the main feature of this site is our discussion board. National websites are great for information, but the true advantage will always come at the local level. Whether you’ve just been released or you’ve been out for decades, this is a space for you to tell others where you’ve found jobs, help other former prisoners get employed, and ask for help in finding employment. We also offer sections for finding housing and furthering your education.

Wherever you’re at in your journey, we could all use a little H.E.L.P. along the way and that’s why we’re here.
