The Dallas Hispanic Bar Association (DHBA) and the Dallas Hispanic Bar Foundation (DHBF) invite you to the annual Noche de Luz Gala taking place Saturday, September 19, 2026 at Omni Dallas Hotel. 

The Gala represents our biggest fundraising event of the year. All funds raised from the Gala will directly benefit the DHBA’s and DHBF’s premier initiatives, which include providing scholarships to law students at SMU Dedman School of Law, UNT Dallas College of Law, and Texas A&M University School of Law, supporting our annual Judge Irma C. Ramirez Leadership Program, and sustaining our Judicial Externship Program.

The Noche de Luz brings together our members, sponsors, and community leaders for a dinner and awards presentation that celebrates our Noche de Luz Award recipients. The Awards honor individuals who are lighting the path to the legal profession for Latinas and Latinos in the Dallas community. 

DHBA membership and programming is open to all regardless of demographic background. The membership criteria are outlined in our bylaws.
