+Semper Questio Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) As a rule, there are not many Texas cachers who look in this forum. Even fewer who post here. If you need to get info about Texas geocaching ro need to contact a Texas cacher, there are other places you should look. The statewide organization is Texas Geocachers Association There are several local organizations as well (hopefully others will add to this list cuz I certainly don't know them all). You can get to most (if not all) of them through the TXGA site. I have also listed some here... Central Texas Geocachers (Greater Austin area) San Antonio Geocachers Assoc. Houston Geocaching Society Greater Abilene Geocachers Assoc. Amarillo Geocachers Pineywoods Cache Connection (East Texas) Permian Basin Cachers Assoc. Dallas/Ft. Worth (North Texas) Valley Geocachers (Rio Grande Valley) Southeast Texas Gang Geocachers Heart Of Texas Geocaching (Waco/Temple/Killeen area) West Texas Caching Association Texoma Geocachers (Wichita Falls area) Hope this helps!

+Yamahammer Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I dunno. I see alot of TX cachers who at least read this section. They/we are 'specially prominant in the other forums, Off Topic, General, etc. ... But you are correct about the TX GC sites. I read most of those as well. To get local attention, you are better off axing in one of those locals. Top Shelf!!! Quote Link to comment

+Semper Questio Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Since we are bound to have at least a few new cachers in Texas since the holidays, I wanted to welcome you all to the group and the game and bump this thread back up to help you locate your local caching organizations. Many of these organizations are the primary online meeting places for the cachers in their areas and they will be happy to welcome you into the fold and help you out with problems or questions. You can also quite often find someone to go caching with. So, again, welcome to the game! Quote Link to comment

I want to fly into DFW and grab caches in TX, AR (near Texarkana) and into OK (near Idabel). Can someone point me in the right direction? I'd suggest the DFW and, possibly, the Texoma sites. My understanding is that Texoma is based out of Wichita Falls which is NW of DFW, but I don't know how far east their group represents. I would think there should be enough help in the DFW group to get you to the TX-OK-AR corner. Happy trails! Quote Link to comment

Dalface Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 We need a group in the North Dallas Area again. There was one, but I understand it is no longer. There is a Denton area group, but that is far from me. I see there were 500 + members of the Dallas group, so there are enough people for one. I was told it was too spread out, so maybe someone who has that leadership quality, wants to start a group in Plano, Richardson area. Quote Link to comment

+Semper Questio Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hello from the complete geocaching noobs of the Fort Worth Library! Hello! So, we know this is insanely short notice, but the Fort Worth Central Library is hosting a Geocaching Family Day on Sunday, November 3rd, 2013 in the Discovery Theatre from 2 - 4pm! This year marks the first time that FWL has begun its maiden voyage into the Geocaching world, so we’re all still learning the ropes as we go. We don’t have any fantastically neat stories of any memorable caches, ridiculously devious hides, or mind-shattering puzzles, yet…so we want to hear yours! Come hang out with us and other people interested in the hunt; come and share stories of magnificent victories or dreadful defeats; come show off photos, pathtags and trackables, and have a good time. You’ll not only help us learn a lot about how we can make this a fun and entertaining program for other people in the future, you may convert any muggles who happen to join in on this little get together in the process. (Just as a heads up, because the get together is on a Sunday, parking is free at any meter downtown. And the Central Library is open Sundays from 1 - 5pm, in case you’d like to wander through the library earlier or afterward.) And because we missed the geocaching.com's 2-week deadline for posting of events, it won't be loggable, but it can still be fun! Hope to see you guys there, ~Gil Hi. his isn't really the thread for this since this is mainly about where to find local Texas groups. It sounds like you could get more traction by going to http://www.dfwgeocaching.com/ and posting this info there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment

Would it be ok/reasonable to post in the general South and Southeast section of this forum ( here: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showforum=22 ) or would that be too speicfic a post for that large an area? No apologies necessary. Yeah, the South and Southeast forum is fine. Just be aware that there is not a lot of activity from Texas cachers here. Most hang out in their respective local forums/groups/facebook. If there is a new link for the DFW group, please post it here so the Texas groups list can be updated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

+bucketto Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hey everyone. Just a heads up that the West Texas Geocaching Association is making a come back. The information regarding the "West Texas Caching Association" is out of date and inactive. SKnight579 has a new site with an active calendar ready and waiting to be used. Lets all of us, in West Texas, start to rebuild our community and make it strong. There are hundreds of us out there looking for a home and plenty of newbies that need guidance. Along with the adventure, geocaching builds communities and helps the environment. Come one, come all. Leave your comments and possible lend a hand/keyboard to make this association everything you would like it to be. The power is in your hands. Quote Link to comment
