The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has canceled this year’s Environmental Trade Fair and Conference due to COVID-19 concerns. Many of the hotels in the downtown area have closed as well. If you’ve already signed up for the Trade Fair & Conference the TCEQ will be issuing refunds within 90 days. If you haven’t received yours by then, contact Innovation Event Management at 800-775-2774 or email at tceq@iemshows.com.
To facilitate training opportunities during the current COVID-19 situation, TCEQ Occupational Licensing has provided a list of online courses that are currently available for continuing education and initial training on our licensing training webpage. The list of courses are organized by license program and provides a link to the training provider website for additional information about the specific courses. If you have additional questions about licensing or training, please send an email to licenses@tceq.texas.gov.
If you were planning on attending, the Offshore Technology Conference this spring, please note that it has been rescheduled to late summer. The exact date is to be determined.
If you’re planning on attending the AAPG2020 Annual Convention and Exhibition in Houston in June, it’s still planning on being held. Hopefully the COVID-19 situation will have passed by then.
The TCEQ and Texas Railroad Commission are both open and operating with a skeleton staff. The remainder of their staffs are operating from home, so if you need to speak with someone specific, leave them a message and they’ll get back with you.
