TBPG

The Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) was created in 2001 by Senate Bill 405 in the 77th Legislature. Senate Bill 405, also known as the Texas Geoscience Practice Act, became Texas Occupations Code 1002. Officially becoming effective on September 1, 2003, TOC 1002 is the governing statute by which the TBPG operates. The Texas Geoscience Practice Act is the basis for all agency rules, policies and procedures. The TBPG is governed by a nine-member Board, all appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Board consists of six Professional Geoscientists and three public members, which serve staggered six-year terms.
