Houston Deaf Network

Houston Deaf Network brings together Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing individuals across Greater Houston.

Find interpreting services, community organizations, education programs, and professional resources — all focused on accessibility and connection. About Houston Deaf Network

Houston Deaf Network began with DPHH (Deaf Professional Happy Hour), inspired by DPHH in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1995 by a group of NTID alumni, the event quickly grew into a hub for connection and community. Following in their footsteps, we launched DPHH Houston in 2003, creating a space for local Deaf professionals to network and thrive. Over time, we realized our community needed more than just a happy hour. Our vision expanded to include all walks of life—from kids to adults, professionals to families. That’s why Houston Deaf Network was created: to serve as a central hub for resources, connections, and opportunities within the Houston Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Today, we aim to bring together information, education, social events, entertainment, career opportunities, and more—all in one place. From articles and resources to activities like DPHH, ASL socials, Deaf Chat Coffee, Deaf Paws, and Deaf sports, we strive to keep our community connected and growing. If you’d like to get involved and contribute, please reach out, and we’ll connect with you as soon as possible. Together, we can continue building a stronger, more connected Deaf community in Houston.

Let's play a little game before Halloween! Can you describe your Halloween costume using ASL only?

No words. No hints. Just ASL.

Post a video of yourself signing your costume and let everyone guess what you are! And if you're not dressing up this year, make up a costume and see if we can guess that one. Who's ready to play?

Hi everyone, quick news. HoustonDeafNetwork isn't changing. But it now has sister cities. I built Echode, which runs the same directory, events, and jobs for Deaf communities in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and across Texas. All four are live now.

If you have family or friends in those cities, please share it with them: echode.com
And if you know a business, event, or resource in one of those cities that should be listed, you can suggest it right on the site. Community listings are free, as always.
Houston is still home, right here. This is just the bigger map around it.

Teach us a sign! If you could teach someone ONE ASL sign that they probably don't know, what would it be? Maybe it's a useful everyday sign, a funny sign, a regional sign, or simply one you really enjoy using. Tell us the sign and why you picked it.

Today is International Day of Sign Languages! Today, we celebrate sign languages and the millions of people who use them to communicate, connect, learn, work, and participate in their communities. For us, it's also a reminder that communication access matters. What does sign language mean to you?
