==User Observations==
+
=== [State Agencies] ===
1473 is not Security Team 2; they are discussing which baggage conveyor belts to use. As far as I know there is only one security talkgroup.
+
* Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
 +
    - Also use VHF
 +
* TxDOT (starting to use system more including road crews, sand trucks, etc. -- Also operate on LCRA P25)
 +
* Texas Legislative Council (minimal traffic - 700  MHz)
 +
* Texas House of Representatives (minimal traffic - 700 MHz)
  
They have allocated to them Facilities Maintenance, Building Maintenance, and Airfield Maintenance. There are also Operations, which deals with things like flights being late and gate changes and such, and Operations Security, which are the heavily armed men in black roaming the concourse. There are 4 talkgroups allocated for general purpose airport use that are not used for anything. There are a few others as well. I can't identify which talkgroup number goes with which use however.
+
=== [Other Counties] ===
 +
* Bastrop County
 +
* Caldwell County (700/800 MHz)

    - Sheriff's Office, Constable's Offices
