CONTACT US: Meet the TSS Board

The Texas Speleological Survey is an all-volunteer organization, and a non-member, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to the collection and protection of information on Texas's underground resources and run by a set of officers and a board of directors, along with an additional group of dedicated volunteers. You can help!

  • To purchase publications or to consider publishing with us, click here for publications catalog, ordering information, and contact information for the editor.
  • Looking for caving opportunities and cave-related events, see the Home Page of the Texas Speleological Association and the TSA Facebook page for dates of events in Texas caving, including scheduled work sessions and open houses.
For other donations, contact our president or our secretary, or any of our directors at caving events.

Many of the individuals listed below as part of TSS leadership have served the organization in several roles; contact the secretary for specific contact information on directors or for the contact information for individual "data managers" who are county specialists -- the heart and soul of Texas caving on the ground (and under it).

For other information, please click on the appropriate links. The office is only intermittently staffed by volunteers, so walk-ins are impossible (except for open events on the TSS homepage), and surface mail processing cannot be guaranteed in a timely fashion.
