The TBRC has evolved into the North America Wood Ape Conservancy (NAWAC) and is now a Pro-kill organization.  Go to the NAWAC page for new updates about the group.

Archived information, Craig Woolheater has sought to resurrect the TBRC as a no-kill group, membership numbers are unknown at this time.

The Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy (TBRC) was born out of the Texas Bigfoot Research Center, established by [[Craig Woolheater]] in 1999 following his own sighting of a bigfoot. It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization, as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.

The TBRC concentrates its research efforts in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas, and is arguably among the most well-organized and determined groups researching the sasquatch phenomenon. The TBRC's ongoing Operation Forest Vigil (OFV) camera trap project, for instance, is unprecedented amongst bigfoot research groups in its scope and methodology. OFV borrows techniques from established and proven field biology projects making use of remote camera traps to document rare and elusive mammals such as the snow leopard and Javan forest rhinos, and as a result the group has gained the cooperation, attention, and respect of many mainstream biologists and organizations. The TBRC's members number around 50 individuals, including wildlife biologists, law enforcement officers, photographers, teachers, business owners, managers, outfitters, ex-military, doctors, CPAs, pilots, technicians, professors, and journalists/editors.

Each fall the TBRC holds an annual conference in the town of Jefferson, Texas. The Texas Bigfoot Conference is the most well-attended event of its kind, a fact demonstrated by the annual attendance figures and the slate of speakers drawn to the conference each year.

The TBRC has also recently introduced a new and innovative website, setting a new standard for the web-based reporting and retrieval of sightings and incidents, as well as ongoing bigfoot related news.
