About TEMSA
One Voice.Every Region. Every Texan.
Every Texan, in every county, deserves a strong EMS response. Texas already sets the national standard for emergency medical services, and TEMSA unites the services and leaders committed to raising it higher — through advocacy, education and the connections that drive EMS forward.
The Texas EMS Alliance is the unified voice for Texas EMS agencies — advocating at the Capitol, building the field through education and telling the story of the people who answer the call.

Built for collaboration and excellence — the story of EMS in Texas.
One Mission, Three Ways Forward
TEMSA brings Texas EMS agencies together around the work that makes the whole field stronger.
Advocacy
We carry the priorities of Texas EMS agencies to the Capitol, state agencies and the public — so the people who respond have the policy and funding to keep responding.
Education
From EMS EVOLUTION to year-round programming, TEMSA connects leaders with the knowledge, tools and peers that move the whole field forward.
Storytelling
EMS is too often invisible until it is needed. We tell the story of Texas EMS — the agencies, the medics and the communities they protect.

Bringing the Industry Together
Once a year, the people who run Texas EMS gather in one place — leaders, medical directors, vendors and innovators. EMS EVOLUTION is where the field compares notes, sees what is next and leaves ready to lead. Hosted at the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center.

Advocating for Texas EMS Agencies and Our Communities
