The Texas Mesquite Association was established in 1992 by forty lumbermill operators, fine crafters and furniture makers who had an interest in Texas' own exotic hardwood, the pesky mesquite. The Association is recognized as a tax exempt, non-profit organization for education. Membership has grown to over 300 active members and publishes a newsletter devoted entirely to mesquite. If you'd like to join, please see our Membership page for an application and more information.
