The Texas chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects was established to promote the practice of landscape architecture and advanced the profession through advocacy, education, communication and fellowship. In 1959, the Texas chapter of ASLA was first established as a larger regional chapter known as the Southwest Chapter. It was not until 1978, that the current Texas chapter was created. There are five sections in the Texas chapter.
