Here's more on them: 

The purpose of the Texas Association of Elections Administrators (TAEA) is to promote the efficient integration of voter registration functions with the actual conduct of elections and to ensure that voter registration, voting, and vote tabulation are all carried out in accordance with the highest legal and ethical standards.

The TAEA encourages all its members to pursue educational training opportunities that are compatible with the purpose of the organization. The association also supports the full involvement of its members in local, state, and federal legislative proceedings related to the purpose of the organization.

From the Texas Association of Counties: County Elections Academy.

The Texas Association of Counties (TAC) County Elections Academy provides educational opportunities to help the county officials and personnel responsible for holding efficient and secure elections.

"The Academy, created in 2022, will not only provide practical support for election officials but also give them some additional paths to education," said TAC Executive Director Susan M. Redford. The classes will help election officials "show the critics that they’re getting the education they need and that they’re doing everything they need to,” she said. "Elections are a core function of county government and this academy is another opportunity for the Association to unite counties to achieve better solutions," she continued.

The TAC President has appointed an Education Committee, which is made up of four clerks, four election administrators, one tax assessor-collector/voter registrar and ex officio members from the Texas Secretary of State’s Office. The committee is looking to create a curriculum that offers practical advice for rerunning elections in the county.
