Houston Interpreters & Translators Association
The Houston Interpreters & Translators Association (HITA) was established in 1993 to create a forum for individuals, businesses, and institutions interested in sharing their experiences, to promote the interests of translators and interpreters in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas, and to serve in cooperation with other regional and national organizations in the recognition of translation and interpreting as professions.
HITA has over 200 members, including translators, interpreters (including interpreters for the Deaf), translation agencies, and institutional members. It offers several programs and services, including seminars and workshops on topics of general interest to the professions.
HITA is a member of the Greater Houston Partnership and an affiliate of the American Translators Association.

“In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you’re told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“I hold that it is true that dreams are faithful interpreters of our drives; but there is an art to sorting and understanding them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
