[2] Since its inception, the TSFA has grown into a professional trade association that covers many branches of the floral industry.

The TSFA publishes a monthly magazine named TEXAS in Bloom, which covers topics concerning the floral industry and its purveyors.

[8] In 1919, the TSFA sponsored the Texas-Southern Florists' Convention, which occurred on July 9–10 in Austin, Texas.

[12][13] At the time, involved parties ran a one-third page welcome address for the event in the Dallas News.

[15] At the 2001 annual convention, Norman Northen was recognized as the top floral designer in the state of Texas.

Education is a major part of TSFA's work, and they also provide learning opportunities to those outside the floral industry.

[23][24] Requirements for the certification are enrollment and completion of the year long Texas Education Agency approved floral design curriculum and passing a Texas State Florists’ Association approved written exam and the design of two floral pieces in a timed setting.

The students who complete the program are prepared for an entry-level position in a retail flower shop.

[28] This was enabled in part from various federal grants for several projects that totaled $1.8 million, which were awarded to improve the production of "fruits, vegetables", and "other specialty crops" in Texas.

[29] The West Texas New Mexico Florist Association has an annual convention that includes floral design competitions.
