Texas Junior College Student Government Association

The Texas Junior College Student Government Association, or TJCSGA, is a student-maintained organization that works to promote interests of community college students at the local, regional, state and national levels. The organization comprises over 72 member colleges across the U.S. state of Texas. Membership is open to any Texas junior, community or technical college.

The TJCSGA was chartered in 1970, when the Texas Junior College Student Council voted in convention to change their name to its current title. Member colleges are divided into six regional districts, drawn at the county level. These regions meet at fall and annual conventions to co-ordinate activities and to help plan the state convention. The districts were last drawn in 2004. The state organization is overseen by a state executive board, which is elected at the state convention. This executive board is charged with planning the following year's state convention, along with other state-wide events.

In recent years, TJCSGA has held a Community College Day, in which of member colleges travel to the state capitol in Austin to meet with their legislators to lobby for an increase in state funding to community colleges.
