Language Line
The 2-1-1 Texas language line allows Texans with a limited understanding of English to apply for benefits with the support of an interpreter in over 150 languages.
If the caller presses 0, they can choose from languages such as Vietnamese, Farsi, Somali, Arabic, Mandarin or French. They can also ask a live agent for an interpreter for other languages.
The interpreter will be conferenced in to convert information from English to the caller’s chosen language throughout the application process.
