| Due to Hurricane Harvey, the Houston Membership Drive is Cancelled |
Due to the terrible flood conditions caused by Hurricane Harvey in and around the Houston area, we have decided to cancel the Houston membership drive that was set to take place this Wednesday during the TTLA Statewide Membership Drive. Thank you to everyone who had volunteered to participate, and we continue to keep those in the storm's path in our thoughts and prayers. We are going to move forward with the other three membership drive locations in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. Click on the headline to registered.
