Regions
TFA divides Texas into five regions for administrative purposes; there are no regional championship tournaments or limit on number of schools or students to qualify to the state tournament from each region. The regions are divided by area code, and there is a region representative from each region to coordinate the region's activities with the state association.

- Region 3 covers South Texas, including the San Antonio metro area. The area codes included are 210, 361, 512, 830, and 956. The Region 3 representative is Kirsten Nash of Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, TX.
