Mission: The specific and primary program services is to organize, sponsor, promote and enter into non-profit activities relating to youth livestock shows and competitions, from one year to the next, to keep and publish records relating to such shows and competitions, to stimulate involvement in junior livestock shows and competitions and in 4-h and ffa exhibitions,and to award trophies and prizes with regard to such shows and competitions. The texas junior livestock association, which includes the texas club calf association, texas club pig association, texas club lamb association and texas club meat goat association, is the premier organization for junior livestock exhibitors in the state of texas. Tjla records all the activities for the activities listed above. The exempt purpose achievements were accomplished by serving approximately 3000 members.
Once a good forum for it's mission, the TJLA responsibilities as a children's charity are clouded while it's current leadership lacks the integrity needed for running a healthy nonprofit. Because it's administrators refuse to abide by state mandated rules, it's current position has foundered morally as well as financially leaving the charity in debt as noted in their annual IRS reports. Current administration continues to neglect obligations while financial donations collected for the children of Texas seem to be supporting personal venues. It's obvious a sense of entitlement takes precedence over positive decisions allowing a breach of social responsibility that could set records for irresponsible spending by a nonprofit employee, which (after investigating prior responsibilities) suggest the current administrator has directed other nonprofits into the same situation this charity now faces.
