ATTENTION!  All currently certified officers! 

• No hours collected prior to June 30, 2008 are any longer eligible for use to renew your certification. 
• People that are currently certified with TACA will have a new expiration date of June 30, 2011.  That is three years in which to obtain 30 hours of continuing education credit to maintain compliance with Chapter 829 of the Health and Safety Code. 
• As a member benefit, TACA will continue to list members as certified who have training/certification at the following levels, including:
  • Advanced – DSHS no longer offers this course
  • Administrative – DSHS no longer offers this course
  • Instructor – DSHS no longer offers this course
  • Euthanasia – Completion of Euthanasia training, as proscribed in Chapter 821 of the Health and Safety Code
• Regular individual memberships will now cost $50 per year (instead of $35), but will include certification at no extra charge, as well as other benefits. New membership forms may be obtained from this website.
• Membership and certification have been combined into one service for eligible members.  Any officers that were certified with TACA, but were not members, must now join TACA by September 1, 2008 to maintain a certified status.  TACA will now certify members only. 
• Old membership forms should be discarded immediately, as TACA membership categories and benefits have changed. 
• New TACA Membership and Certification Policy may be downloaded here (PDF)
