Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is a two-year technical state college with multi-campuses throughout Texas. It is the only state-supported institution that exclusively operates two-year colleges in Texas, although the Texas State University System also administers three two-year colleges including one technical institute in southeast Texas beyond its post-baccalaureate universities.
TSTC's headquarters are at the old Connally Air Force Base north of Waco, Texas and are co-located with the Waco campus, which is its oldest and flagship campus. The Waco campus operates branch campuses in Hutto and Richmond.
TSTC also operates campuses in Harlingen (with a branch in Ingleside), Marshall (with a branch in Red Oak that opened in 2014), and West Texas (with campuses in Abilene, Breckenridge, Brownwood, and Sweetwater), as well as TSTC Corporate College, which operates customized training programs for specific industries. TSTC also operates partnerships with the Texas State Marine Education Center in Palacios and with the Richmond campus of Wharton County Junior College.
TSTC was established in 1965 as the James Connally Technical Institute (JCTI) of Texas A&M University to meet the state’s evolving workforce needs. At the time, Governor John Connally (no relation) predicted that it would be "the most sophisticated technical-vocational institute in the country."
