Welcome to the first Texas Cosmology Network Meeting The aim of this meeting is to bring first-rank active cosmologists from the universities within Texas, and build the "Texas Cosmology Network". The motivation came from a "wonderful coincidence" in which Texas A&M, UT Austin, UT Dallas, and UT San Antonio have hired cosmologists in the past few years, and are developing research activities in cosmology, although somewhat independently.  Therefore, it would
be a good idea to have a small get-together among us now, get to know each
other, discuss a possibility that we may join the force together, and motivate/stimulate more frequent interactions. It would
also be a nice opportunity to discuss the future directions of research in cosmology, and what we can contribute to this
enterprise from a "Texan" point-of-view. We may even think about convincing the State of Texas to fund such an effort in
some way. The first meeting will consist of a dozen of short talks, followed by open discussion on the organization, future
meetings, as well as directions of cosmology and the Texas Cosmology Network.
