History • In 1992 the Texas Board of Health divided the
state into 22 Trauma Service Areas (TSA’s).
• Each TSA formed a Regional Advisory Council (RAC)
• Each RAC was chartered by the Texas Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Management to develop, implement, and monitor regional emergency services and to oversee trauma system networking.
