About

What is TexLUG?

TexLUG is short for Texas LEGO User Group. In a nutshell, we’re a loose-knit non-profit group of folks living in Texas, bound together by a single trait: our love of the LEGO building brick. Many of us are adults who simply never lost sight of this facet of our childhood. Others are adults who have rediscovered the fun they had playing and building with LEGO. And a few are still in their childhood, discovering new ways to further their enjoyment of LEGO while sharing a surprisingly sophisticated level of building ideas of their own. We welcome LEGO enthusiasts of all ages.

Why LEGO?

There are a number of different answers to this question, but perhaps most prominent is that LEGO represents, for us, the ultimate in expression through creation. Thus far, we have discovered little, if anything, that cannot be accurately depicted through LEGO bricks.

What does TexLUG do?

Ultimately, we try to meet twice a year, once in the fall, and once in the spring, to meet and spend one weekend setting up a massive display of LEGO organized around a specific, generalized theme (science fiction, castles and fantasy, town and city, etc.) We show off our individual creations, trade pieces with one another, hold contests of various types, exchange ideas, and circulate news on our favorite hobby. Our current goal is to gradually involve the public more and more in these activities. Between semi-annual meetings, we exchange email on pretty much the same subjects.
