Getting Texas families a real diagnosis, not a guess.
Lyme disease is complex, often missed, and rarely explained well. We connect patients with Lyme-literate physicians and push for the policy change Texas needs.
Where TXLA's reach stands today
The numbers TXLA can confirm right now.
"I was a Lyme patient long before I was an advocate. TXLA exists because I know what it's like to spend years looking for someone who would actually listen."

Frequently asked
What's the difference between acute and persistent Lyme?
Acute Lyme is diagnosed within six weeks of infection. Persistent or chronic Lyme is diagnosed after that window and may involve ongoing infection or lingering effects after treatment. Read the full breakdown on our Acute vs. Replicating Infection page.
How does TXLA's Find a Doctor program work?
TXLA connects you with a Lyme-literate physician in our network so you can get a real evaluation instead of waiting months for a referral. Reach out through our Find a Doctor page to get started, and a member of our team will confirm any cost involved.
