Continuously Operating Research Stations monitor and continually broadcast their exact positions, alowing researchers to measure very small motions in the Earth's crust at that location. Due to their sensitivity, most CORS are not directly accessible; this one is in a Texas State Highway equipment yard and is best viewed from the north, through a fence. There is parking across the street from this vantage point; please be careful when crossing Highway 22 (a two-lane road). The designation for this station is TXHM; follow this link and enter the station designation TXHM to see a snapshot of the data gathered by this station.
