TXRX Labs

"I've been a member here for about a year now, And I must say, this place is awesome. At first, I was a little unsure. I can see why some people might think the staff members are rude. They aren't on purpose, most are just really busy handling tasks for other members or for the organization. Once you spend some time in here, you'll realize just how helpful and knowledgeable the staff is. The tools are good. A lot of the bigger tools are a little bit older, and they have tons of broken tools donated to them that aren't even usable (not their fault), but over time I have seen how well they take care of what they have and trying to always improve. People forget this is a non-profit and not a business. This isn't a place that has all the money in the world to be a perfect organization. I'm not even sure how they financially got this far, but it shows in the work and effort they have put into this place. I've brought several of my friends here to show off whats possible to get things from their head to in their hands. If you like working with your hands, this place is for you."

"So I have mixed feelings about this place, on one hand it has amazing equipment, though on the other it has a large barrier to entry with expensive monthly payments which don't even cover room training and checkout costs regardless if you already have experience. I volunteered for a short while to help cover membership and because I love makerspaces, although a new lab lead joined and replaced all the lab volunteers with little explanation. I never really felt a community here and heard some hints of internal drama. After that I left and joined a smaller makerspace nearer to me and feel like I have the opportunity to learn and build way more even with less capability at a fraction of the cost and a much better community. I think TX/RX could be great if your willing to pay for the one off classes or use it for a buisness, but I don't think it reaches the average hobbyist like myself very well and needs to build a better internal community."

"Nice place for creative persons to build up their own ideas together.We meet Christopher Texler, a rockets designer and many interesting things.Hasse Space school brings students to design private vehicles.It’s a wonderful experience here."

"Excellent tools and equipments, the staff are very friendly and helpful and they remember me by name. TXRX is great community of people with a wide variety of interests coming together. I've been taking a few classes here and plan to take more. Definitely worth the cost of membership, now I have access to all the excellent equipments without trying to crowd my garage with more stuff."

"Such an amazing place to be! The people there are incredibly nice and I really love their weekend workshop concept. My wife and I took ceramics 1 and 2, Saturday and Sunday two weekends in a row). Very well equipped also, totally worth the drive from Cypress. We'll keep taking classes for sure :)"
