About the 2025 TCDA Conference & Attendee Opportunities
Founded in 1985 through a shared commitment to improve interagency communication, the Texas Chief Deputies Association (TCDA) has grown into a statewide network of chief deputy leaders. Today, TCDA fosters collaboration, training, and professional development through regional meetings and an annual conference, which was launched in 1987.
At this year’s conference, attendees can expect practical training, expert-led sessions, and opportunities to connect with peers who understand the unique demands of leadership in Texas law enforcement.
