Texas Auctioneers Association

The Texas Auctioneers Association is a non-profit organization founded in 1956 to promote and enhance the auction method of marketing real and personal property. It was incorporated in 1977 and holds 501(c)(6) status, and its meetings are open to the public. Members agree to a Code of Ethics that guides how they conduct business.

The association offers members education, scholarships, member discounts and networking through its annual convention and the Lone Star Open. It also runs an auctioneers' political action committee and a compassion fund, and it recognizes members through a Hall of Fame and a Leadership Award. Auction listings cover auto, real estate, antiques, heavy equipment and government surplus, and visitors can find an auctioneer through the association.
