Celebrate Freedom Week   is an educational program held in November of each year and is sponsored by the State Bar of Texas and local Bar associations throughout the State.  Celebrate Freedom Week was established by the Texas Legislature in an effort to raise public awareness about the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Indpenedence.  During the first full week of November of each year, communities across Texas celebrate our system of justice through educational activities aimed at emphasizing the third branch of government and its important role in ensuring democracy and equality. 

The Hidalgo County Bar Foundation (HCBF) celebrates Celebrate Freedom Week by inviting Hidalgo County high school groups to participate in our Open Courthouse Educational Program and the Speakers Bureau Program.
