Each year, I receive a high volume of applications from young men and women desiring a nomination to one of the service academies. The Eighth District has always been one of the most competitive in the country for the limited number of academy nominations available, and nominations are always a difficult decision for the 30 member Service Academy Nomination Board I have appointed here in Texas.

If you are interested in applying to one of our military academies, the process is quite simple. You can download the application and fill it out online (link below), or call my office to have them send you a copy.   In each case, you must mail your application in upon completion.  It is best to begin work on this process during your junior year of high school so that you have more time to obtain all of the required documentation.

It is important to follow all the directions for the application and submit all necessary materials. A completed packet must be in my Conroe district office no later than November 1st (no exceptions) of the year prior to entering the academy. If you have any questions, please contact my Conroe office at 936-441-5700.
