Texasvets is an unmoderated, private email distribution list of Texas veterinarians.  It also includes some 3rd and 4th year veterinary students. In order to promote open, frank discussion unhindered by fear, the list excludes  certain members of government, and governing agencies.

You MUST reveal  yourself as a government employee or representative NOW if this applies to you in order to avoid future legal reprisals.  Should you become employed by a government agency after joining, it is incumbent upon you to make this known to me, the listowner, at the email address below, immediately.

Go ahead and apply even if you are a government employee... I will review your status with you and we can discuss it.  Certain types of government employees are accepted, and the list does now as of Dec 2001 accept veterinary members of the TSBVME.

As the list is restricted, I need a little information about you to approve your application.

Please send an email to me at [email protected] with the following information.
