THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

In light of current heightened concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, and out of an abundance of caution we at AgriLife Extension made the difficult decision to cancel the scheduled information sessions for March 17, March 25, and March 27.

If you are not already on the notification email list, you may add your name here.

We are hoping to reschedule once we no longer need to be concerned for health and safety. At this point, we are unsure of how we will adjust. We will update this event calendar and email a notice as soon as we have new information. As a government agency, we are making adjustments rapidly as the situation evolves. Please contact us at 512-854-9600 if you have questions and we will respond as we are able.
