dc.description | The Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was organized on November 29, 1900 in Sherman, Texas under the name Texas Association for the Advancement of Osteopathy. David L. Clark, D.O. was elected the first president. The association formed because of the Wilson Bill, a piece of Texas legislation that would have classed Osteopathic physicians with unorthodox practitioners. In 1907, the first Texas Medical Practice Act was passed and it permitted the licensing of doctors of osteopathy in the state of Texas. In 1901, the name changed to Texas Osteopathic Association and in 1930, the name changed to the Texas Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons. On September 14, 1971, the name changed to Texas Osteopathic Medical Association, which is the current title of the organization. In the 1950's the first state headquarters were established in Fort Worth. The state headquarters are now in Austin. The auxiliary was formed in 1940.
