Texas Prosecutors Society (TPS)
In 2011, under the direction of then-Board Chairman Dan Boulware and Endowment Chair Tom Krampitz, the Foundation kicked off its campaign to establish a select group of supporters called the Texas Prosecutors Society. This invitation was for those who have demonstrated an interest in and commitment to improving prosecution and training in Texas. We started with a Founding Fellows class of 106 members—one for every year the Association had existed, and we add to that number each year.
These members of the Texas Prosecutors Society have pledged $2,500 each to create an endowment fund for the Foundation—a forward-thinking strategy for building stability and growth for both the Foundation and the Association. The endowment’s purpose is to collect and invest funds for the future to provide critical support to the Association.
Each year, new inductees of the Society are recognized at a special reception at TDCAA’s Elected Prosecutor Conference in December.
By the end of 2023, 261 members had accepted the invitation to the Texas Prosecutors Society. It will continue to grow as more prosecutors and distinguished alumni are invited to join every year. Listed below is the current membership of the Texas Prosecutors Society.
