Local caving clubs are called grottos. There are several grottos throughout Texas that hold meetings, organize trips, offer training, and provide a general outlet for all things related to caving, cave research, and cave conservancy. Everyone interested in caving in Texas is encouraged to get involved by joining their closest grotto.
