HABEAS CORPUS
Habeas Corpus Filings for Immigration Detention – Texas
Fight Unlawful Immigration Detention in Texas
If your loved one has been detained by immigration authorities (ICE) for weeks or months without progress, you may have legal options to contest their status, such as filing a Habeas Corpus petition. This legal tool allows you to challenge unlawful detention in federal court — aiding in securing a person’s release when immigration proceedings, including their Asylum application or Green Card application, are unfairly delayed or their rights are violated.
Our experienced immigration attorneys at Kinzler Immigration Law specialize in Deportation Defense and represent detained immigrants and their families across Austin and throughout Texas. Additionally, we assist in navigating Waivers of Inadmissibility to help ensure that the constitutional rights of every person in custody are protected.

Are You Facing Deportation Defense?
If you are currently in removal (deportation) proceedings, you still have the opportunity to apply for asylum through the defensive process. This entails seeking asylum as a defense against removal before an immigration judge with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
You might find yourself in removal proceedings if:
- You were denied asylum through the affirmative process.
- You were detained at a U.S. port of entry or the border without proper documentation.
- You were placed in expedited removal but demonstrated a credible fear of persecution.
Our firm provides strong and compassionate legal representation in immigration court, ensuring that your story is heard, and your rights are protected.
We Explore Every Legal Option for Your Case
You may qualify for asylum or refugee status if you have suffered persecution — or fear future persecution — based on your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Given that U.S. asylum law changes frequently, having an attorney who stays up to date on the law is crucial to finding the best possible path for your situation, whether it involves an asylum application or a Green Card application.

Naturalization And Citizenship
Become a U.S. Citizen with Help from an Austin Immigration Attorney
If you were born in the United States, you’re already a U.S. citizen. If your parents are U.S. citizens and you were born abroad, they can apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and a U.S. passport to confirm your citizenship.
If you weren’t born a citizen, you may still qualify through your parents’ citizenship, the naturalization process, or by filing an asylum application if applicable.
What Is Naturalization?
Naturalization is how immigrants become U.S. citizens through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You may be eligible if you:
- Are 18 or older
- Have been a green card holder for 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen)
- Have served in the U.S. military for at least one year
While you can apply on your own, working with an experienced Austin immigration lawyer can make the process smoother and more successful, especially if you need assistance with your green card application or have questions about waivers of inadmissibility.
Call 512-402-7999 or contact the Law Office of Mark Kinzler, P.C. online to schedule a consultation.
Were You Told You Couldn’t Naturalize? You Might Still Qualify.
Even if you were told you can’t become a citizen, Attorney Mark Kinzler may be able to help. USCIS considers factors such as good moral character, continuous residence, and English/civics test results. If you're facing deportation defense issues or believe you may need to file a habeas corpus petition, there may still be pathways to citizenship.
With over 15 years of experience, Mark Kinzler has helped clients across Texas successfully achieve citizenship through naturalization.
