The BRL of Texas logo is a five-pointed star divided into red, white and blue sections. The left side of the star is dark blue with a white star within it. The right side is divided horizontally: the top half is white, and the bottom half is red. Across the white section of the star are the letters "BRLT" in all caps. Below these letters are corresponding Braille dots that represent the same four letters.

Our Vision

The Braille revival League of Texas envisions a world where:

  • Braille is respected and accepted as an essential mode of communication in society, and
  • People of all ages who are blind or have low vision recognize and embrace Braille for its practical value in their daily lives.

“In our way, we, the blind, are as indebted to Louis Braille as mankind is to Gutenberg. It is true that the dot system is very different from ordinary print, but these raised letters are, under our fingers, precious seeds from which has grown our intellectual harvest. Without the Braille dot system, how incomplete and chaotic our education would be! The dismal doors of frustration would shut us out from the untold treasures of literature, philosophy and science. But, like a magic wand, the six dots of Louis Braille have resulted in schools where embossed books, like vessels, can transport us to ports of education, libraries and all the means of expression that assure our independence”
