Abstract: Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists
The Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) was set up under the authorization of Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1002 (The Texas Geoscience Practice Act) in 2001. The Act became fully effective as of September 1, 2003. The TBPG licenses Geologists, Geophysicists and Soil Scientists, and administers the ASBOG® examinations, which are required in order to obtain a Texas P.G. license. The TBPG also enforces The Act and rules adopted by the Board under The Act. The TBPG also provides Geoscience Ethics training, as well as training required under The Act for state agencies which receive geoscience work.
