The Texas Protein Folders and Function Meeting started in 1993. The first meeting (organized by Tom Baldwin, Leila Gierasch, and Jim Hu) was held at Texas A&M, with a plan to rotate the location around the state. After the fourth meeting, the venue stayed at Camp Allen until finding an open date there led the organizers to move the 2013 meeting to Artesian Lakes, where it is now held.
