The Texas Inmate Families Association is currently undergoing a process of reorganization to strengthen our ability to serve families and advocate for meaningful change. During this transition, we are carefully reviewing and updating our structure to ensure long-term stability and impact. Members and Chapter Chairs will be notified as soon as new information is available for release. We appreciate your patience and continued support as we work to build a stronger and more effective organization.
Texas Incarcerated Families Association
TIFA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Our mission is to serve people in Texas prisons through education, advocacy, and organizing. We provide our members with the information and resources they need to navigate Texas’s prison system.
We advocate for greater opportunities for currently and formerly incarcerated people. We work with state officials and other criminal justice reform organizations to improve the conditions of prisons, probation, and parole.

You are not alone
We know what you are going through. Most of us have been where you are now, overwhelmed by all that is happening and fearful for the safety of our loved ones . . . shock, despair, confusion. Losing someone to the system is very much like death. We grieve the loss of that person in our daily lives and the loss of all our hopes and dreams for a future with that loved one. You do not have to go through this alone.
