WHO WE AREThe Texas Camino Real District Export Council (TCRDEC) is a non-profit, private-sector advisory group whose mission is to grow Texas’ economy by boosting U.S. exports. Appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, TCRDEC members are a diverse volunteer group of International Trade Professionals from across Central and South Texas.
The TCRDEC serves 80 counties in Central and South Texas. Originally a branch of the North Texas DEC in 1994, it became a standalone DEC in 1999. The name of the DEC, Camino Real, is derived from one of the original trading trails across Texas, as this DEC promotes export trade as a mechanism for business growth. They are export trade ambassadors for Texas. |
The TCRDEC makes significant contributions to America's international competitiveness by promoting and facilitating the export of goods and services by companies located in Central and South Texas. TCRDEC is providing these services to take U.S. manufacturers and service companies in Central and South Texas to the next level in exporting with:
• Next Level Export Promotion Magazine
• Export Counseling
TCRDEC also educates stakeholders about the importance of trade, communicates crucial trade-related information to the business community and legislators, and cultivates the next generation of Texas exporters by holding Export Fellows student programs at universities and schools.
