Since its founding in 1948 as the Texas Junior College Teachers Association, TCCTA has been dedicated to advancing excellence in teaching and strengthening community, junior, and technical colleges across Texas. Renamed the Texas Community College Teachers Association in 1996, the organization has grown to become the largest professional association of postsecondary educators in the state, representing more than 5,000 members. Independent and autonomous, TCCTA has always stood apart—not as a union, but as a professional association committed to academic freedom, due process, and responsibility. For over seven decades, we have championed faculty concerns, provided professional development, and advocated at the state level, ensuring a secure and rewarding future for educators and their students.
