Support the education, adoption, and use of remotely piloted, uncrewed, and autonomous systems by public safety and emergency service organizations at the regional (state) level within the scope of established legal and acceptable community standards.
-
Increase awareness and understanding of the value of drones, robotics, and related technologies by the public with increased emphasis on underserved communities.
-
Provide a mechanism for government to directly collaborate with industry and academia at the regional level to stimulate innovation and better serve the Whole Community during times of emergency and crisis.

OUR MISSION
The DRONERESPONDERS Texas Public Safety Coordination Group (TEXGRU) is the backbone of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) readiness across the Lone Star State. Built by and for public safety professionals, this powerful coalition fuels real-time mission coordination, resource sharing, and operational standards tailored to Texas’s vast and varied terrain—from the Panhandle plains to the Gulf Coast, and every border, bayou, and big city in between.
From hurricanes to hazmat, our network keeps operations tight, communication seamless, and collaboration fierce.
It's more than a group, it’s a tactical advantage
