AUSTIN, Texas, 26 de junio de 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- El jueves 19 de junio de 2025, el Colegio de Abogados del Estado de Texas nombró a Christina Yarnell como la receptora del Premio Frank J. Scurlock 2025 en la Reunión Anual del Colegio de Abogados en San Antonio, Texas.   Este premio se otorga anualmente al abogado individual que ha proporcionado un trabajo pro bono sobresaliente en el Estado de Texas.

NIX PATTERSON ANUNCIA QUE CHRISTINA YARNELL HA SIDO NOMBRADA GANADORA DEL PREMIO INDIVIDUAL PRO BONO ABOGADO DEL AÑO DEL COLEGIO DE ABOGADOS DEL ESTADO DE TEXAS

La Sra. Yarnell es abogada litigante en Nix Patterson, LLP en Austin, Texas.  Además de su trabajo como abogada litigante, también se desempeña como Directora de Talento y Directora de Operaciones de la firma.

La Sra. Yarnell fue nominada por su trabajo durante un período de diez años representando a numerosas mujeres inmigrantes vulnerables y en riesgo en un asunto increíblemente complejo de trata de personas contra una escuela de inmersión en español con sede en Austin y su propietaria.  Trabajó frente a amenazas, acoso e intimidación, no solo para sus clientes sino también para ella misma.

Christina finalmente logró que el Departamento de Policía de Austin se uniera a la pelea.  A partir de ahí, APD recurrió al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos y otros.  Eventualmente, la Oficina del Fiscal General de Texas también se unió a la lucha.  La Sra. Yarnell se mantuvo involucrada y asesoró a sus clientes durante todo el proceso.  También ayudó a las mujeres a tener acceso a especialistas en inmigración que las ayudaron a obtener visas de inmigración U, que son visas especiales para víctimas de la trata laboral que aceptan cooperar con investigadores y fiscales.

El 28 de enero de 2025, diez años después de que Christina comenzara a luchar por la justicia para estas mujeres inmigrantes, la Oficina del Fiscal General de Texas anunció un acuerdo histórico contra la escuela y sus propietarios.  El acuerdo impuso la pena máxima permitida en las demandas civiles por tráfico laboral bajo la ley de crimen organizado de Texas y prohibió a los acusados amenazar o tomar cualquier medida contra estas mujeres. 1 

Si bien la oficina del Fiscal General anunció este acuerdo, las verdaderas heroínas de esta historia son la Sra. Yarnell y las mujeres que representó.  Como el Detective que investigó este asunto y el Fiscal General Adjunto que procesó el caso civil, ambos escribieron al Colegio de Abogados del Estado, nada de esto habría sucedido sin el coraje, la tenacidad y el arduo trabajo que Christina Yarnell le dio a cada uno de sus clientes pro bono.

El premio de la Sra. Yarnell se produce casi 25 años después de que Nix Patterson fuera nombrado ganador del Premio Dean Frank Newton Pro Bono del Colegio de Abogados del Estado de Texas.
