The El Paso Branch is the host for the Texas Section 2005 Fall Meeting.

In 1956, a group of Civil Engineers formed the El Paso Engineers Club for the purpose of advancing professional and technical fellowship among the local engineers. Even though all these founding members were members of the American Society of civil Engineers (ASCE), they were not associated with any sub organizational unit. The El Paso Engineers Club continued to grow in number of members and activities; however, it did not operate under any official charter. It had no formal organization and was not recognized by any parent organization.

During their Spring Meeting in May of 1950, the Texas Section's Board of Direction approved the formation of the El Paso Branch and the first official Branch meeting was held shortly thereafter. The Texas Section was the first Section of the ASCE to institute the procedure by which local Branches could be established where ten more members resided and petitioned for branch.
