About Texas Irrigation Association
In Texas, irrigation affects both the people who work in the field and the way communities manage water. Since 1965, the Texas Irrigation Association has supported licensed irrigators through education, continuing education, industry resources, and legislative advocacy, while also helping students pursue careers connected to irrigation and the green industry. A gift supports the professional standards, scholarships, and consumer education that shape how irrigation is practiced across the state.
TXIA is a statewide professional association governed by representatives from local irrigation associations across Texas. Its work reaches from licensing classes and scholarships to legislative advocacy, industry communication, and public education about licensed irrigation professionals and smart water management.
