HOTEL ROOM BLOCK. Texas Water Association's hotel block at The Woodlands Resort is now full. Please fill out our waitlist form if you would like to be notified if a room becomes available. We can almost always find rooms for individuals on our waitlist, especially if you fill it out early! 

Please do not cancel a room with the hotel. Instead, email your reservation number to Lisa by May 12 so she can fill it with someone from the wait list.
