About the Texas Chapter
The Texas Chapter of The Explorers Club is comprised of Explorer Club members from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisana, and Arkansas. The Chapter meets quarterly, often in Austin, Dallas, and Houston where the new discoveries take us. Typically, hands-on field trips are followed by even dinner meetings with the experts.
