Extension Program
Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) is keeping Texas prepared by helping our state’s communities solve local problems in the areas of fire and emergency services; law enforcement and protective services; and critical infrastructure management and recovery, including water and wastewater operations and management. These services are funded by the State of Texas. Whether providing quality training to meet community needs, or technical assistance, TEEX stands ready to offer expertise in these critical areas.
State-Funded Services Offered
Training is designed to your needs and it meets or exceeds certification and continuing education requirements. Our in-depth, on-site technical assistance includes planning, assessments, troubleshooting and recovery.
Extension Regional Managers and Coordinators
Our Regional Managers and Regional Coordinators live and work in their respective regions. Each one is an experienced leader familiar with the challenges and needs of local agencies and response organizations—from small towns and rural areas to large municipalities.
Our regional staff can connect you with TEEX’s services. Let us know how we can help. Find your Regional Manager or Coordinator and contact them by phone or email.
