Becoming a member of the Texas Civil Guard means more than showing up—it means committing to training, readiness, and service. You’ll gain hands-on experience in emergency response, medical care, search and rescue, communications, and leadership, all while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with others who share your dedication. Every drill, every exercise, and every mission prepares you to protect your community, support your neighbors, and respond when it matters most. This is where skill meets purpose, and where your commitment can make a lasting impact.
