Additional business information
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government’s allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On May 19, 2021 The Texas Attorney General sued Austin Eco Bilingual School and owner Adriana Rodriguez alleging she engaged in human labor trafficking. The Attorney General alleges foreign-born employees were lured to Texas with promises of lawful status, a decent salary and a rewarding career, but were instead victimized by Rodriguez who trafficked them for their labor. Employees reported Ms. Rodriguez recruited teachers with uncertain immigration status, no legal status, or status that binds them to Austin Eco Bilingual School for legal residency. The lawsuit also alleges Rodriguez threatened to have them deported, arrested, or separated from their children if they did not continue to work, often for far less pay than promised or no pay at all. She also allegedly constantly kept her employees from complaining by highlighting her connections to high-ranking law enforcement and other government officials.
