Texas Egg Council
The Texas Egg Council (TEC) is an organization of egg industry men and women that encompasses all phases off the egg business. Membership is divided into five categories. They are:
Category 1 - Producers (those owning production)
Category 2 - Egg Dealers and Handlers
Category 3 - Hatcheries of Egg-Type Chicks
Category 4 - Allied Industries (those firms who choose to be TEC members with automatic TAPA membership)
Category 5 - Contract growers (those persons producing eggs and/or pullets on contract who do not have ownership of the poultry)
TEC is active in the four primary fields of product promotion, consumer education, funding of research, and governmental relations.
