About Us

Updated November 9, 2026

The Texas Coastal and Central Plains Ecological Services Field Office includes field offices in Arlington, Clear Lake, and Corpus Christi with a sub-office in Alamo, Texas. The Field Office covers 170 counties that include the Texas coast; parts of northern, eastern and central Texas; and South Texas. The Texas Coastal and Central Plains Ecological Services Field Office strives to conserve and protect federally listed threatened and endangered species as well as federal trust resources such as wetlands, migratory birds, pollinators, and interjurisdictional fish within diverse and wide-ranging ecosystems. Partnerships with state and federal agencies, local governments, private and public citizens, and non-governmental organizations make our work possible.

Distribution of Offices in Texas

Due to the size of the State, the work has been distributed between the Texas Coastal and Central Plains offices and the Austin office. This division allows biologists to be distributed across the state, specialize in ecosystems, and suports regional project type expertise.
