Texas Co Ops Are Active
Texas Co-Ops are active, guided by a seven man board elected yearly from across the state. The TEC opened its first office in Austin in 1944 in the Scarbough Building, publishing Texas Co-Op Power and serving co-ops on legislative matters as part of its ongoing information and service.

Pole Plant Aids Texas Co op Rural Electrification
Creosoted poles from Texas Electric Cooperatives Lufkin plant fueled rural electrification in Texas after TEC bought the plant in 1944. From 1945 to 1950 most line construction relied on these poles financed by REA loans totaling 342000 dollars. The program peaked in 1951 when REA Administrator Claude Wickard received the final payment from TEC president Allen Burditt, ending the debt.
