The
Texas Acupuncture Association (TAA) was founded in 1992 before the
practice of acupuncture was legal in the State of Texas. It was
through their efforts that acupuncture became legal and professionally
licensed in Texas. In 2001 TAA changed its name to the Texas
Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (TAAOM) in order to
better represent all facets of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Today it is the largest organization in the state with well over 100
members.
