SAN ANTONIO — The state’s only non-profit organization solely dedicated to Texas deer, the Texas Deer Association passed the torch this weekend and ceremoniously installed newly elected officers on its executive committee. The all-new executive committed was officially sworn in during the Ninth Annual Texas Deer Association Convention & Trade Show held at the Westin La Cantera Resort in San Antonio.

Leading the new executive committee is President Jimmy Hasslocher of San Antonio, who has previously served as vice president for the TDA’s Region Four, as well as in several leadership roles in his community. Also taking office were newly elected executive committee members Brian Carter of Driftwood, Texas, as vice president; Bobby Marburger of Columbus, Texas, as secretary; and Gilbert Adams III of Beaumont, Texas, as treasurer.

“Our members are our real strength,” said Hasslocher, who addressed more than 1000 TDA members attending the convention. “Communication will be my top priority, making sure our new members feel valued and ensuring that all members have timely and accurate information as we move forward together.”

All of the new TDA executive committee officers expressed a keen interest in creating a growing membership for the TDA, as well as for greater involvement with government activities and legislation that might impact the deer and hunting industries in Texas.

The TDA is the only non-profit organization solely committed to improving the quality of Texas deer herds through improved habitat practices, modern harvest strategies and use of superior deer to enhance the deer herds. As a part of its public education efforts, the TDA publishes a full-color bimonthly magazine, Tracks, which updates TDA members on current legislative news, deer genetics and game management issues. The TDA also hosts an annual convention and trade show every August featuring fund-raising auctions, a deer auction, golf tournament and other events.
