Texas Geographic Information Council


The Texas Geographic Information Council (TGIC), was formed on September 1, 1997 through the merger of the Texas GIS Planning Council and the TNRIS Task Force. TGIC is responsible for the coordination and planning of statewide geographic strategies for the State of Texas. These responsibilities include data development, standards, data distribution, and GIS implementation.

The TGIC homepage is being updated and enhanced to reflect the many changes in Texas geographic information coordination that have taken place recently. Because of this, the TGIC homepage is under construction!
