The association also works closely with the Asian Pacific Interest Section (APIS) of the State Bar of Texas, and is the local chapter of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA).
As DAABA’s membership has grown significantly over the years, so has the prominence and influence of its members.

DAABA members are regularly requested to speak and to give presentations to the community and to serve on various professional organizations, government and nonprofit boards and commissions.
