NUCA of South Texas
Board Members for NUCA of South Texas (Gulf Coast/Houston Chapter)
Based on public sources, NUCA (National Utility Contractors Association) does not have a distinct “South Texas” chapter; however, the Gulf Coast/Houston chapter under UCATX (Utility Contractors Association of Texas) serves the South Texas region (e.g., Houston and Gulf Coast areas). This is confirmed from UCATX website data and NUCA mentions (e.g., NUCA Gulf Coast in social media and events). The chapter is managed by Mary Jane Debenport, who oversees multiple Texas NUCA chapters.
The board list is from the UCATX Houston page (as of 2025), supplemented with publicly available contact info from web searches (e.g., company websites, LinkedIn, directories like ZoomInfo and RocketReach). Contacts are inferred where direct data is unavailable (e.g., email patterns like first.last@company.com). For verification, contact the chapter directly. No IRS filing was found for a separate Gulf Coast EIN; it operates under NUCA Texas (EIN 81-2624070).
