What members read between meetings

A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Texas. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.

Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

English

The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.

About AA in Texas

Houston-Galveston: the largest single AA calendar in the South

Houston Intergroup Association coordinates several thousand weekly meetings across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Galveston counties. Inner-loop Houston has long-running noon meetings near downtown and the Texas Medical Center, Montrose anchors the area's LGBTQ+ AA presence, and the Heights and Greater Heights have grown rapidly with newer evening groups. The Energy Corridor, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands serve suburban professional communities with both early-morning and after-work options. Spanish-language meetings are widespread, particularly in Pasadena, Aldine, and the East End.

Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Dallas Intergroup Association and Fort Worth Tarrant County Intergroup run separate but coordinating service offices covering the Metroplex. North Dallas, Uptown, and the M Streets have dense evening meeting calendars. Oak Cliff and South Dallas have a long-established Spanish-language presence. Fort Worth has a distinct meeting culture with several decades-old historic groups near downtown and on the West Side. Arlington, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Denton anchor suburban meeting clusters; the airport-area meetings serve a steady stream of business travelers.

Austin, San Antonio, and the I-35 corridor

Austin Intergroup lists meetings across Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties, with a strong young-people's presence near the University of Texas, evening downtown groups, and growing suburban calendars in Round Rock, Cedar Park, and the Hill Country exurbs. San Antonio Area Intergroup serves Bexar County and the surrounding South Texas counties; San Antonio's meeting calendar reflects the city's deep bilingual culture, with many groups offering both English and Spanish format. New Braunfels and San Marcos anchor the meetings between the two metros.

El Paso, the Panhandle, and rural Texas

El Paso Area Intergroup serves the Borderland. El Paso's recovery community is heavily bilingual and connects with both the New Mexico and Ciudad Juarez fellowship. The Panhandle (Amarillo, Lubbock) has a smaller but tight-knit meeting network. East Texas (Tyler, Longview, Nacogdoches) and the Coastal Bend (Corpus Christi, Victoria) each support their own intergroups. Even small communities like Marfa, Alpine, and Wichita Falls have at least a few weekly meetings, supplemented by online options.

Getting to a meeting in Texas

Houston METRO, Dallas DART (light rail + bus + commuter rail), Austin CapMetro, San Antonio VIA, and El Paso Sun Metro each cover their metro cores. Commuter rail in DFW links downtown Dallas to downtown Fort Worth via the TRE. Intercity options include Amtrak (Texas Eagle, Heartland Flyer, Sunset Limited), Greyhound, FlixBus, Vonlane, and the regional Megabus routes. Driving is the default outside the metros. The directory lists each meeting's exact address with one-tap navigation links.
