tbrna.org

tbrna.org is the website for the Tejas Bluebonnet Region of Narcotics Anonymous. If you are looking for support, the site's Need Help? section is the starting point; if you work with people affected by addiction, the For Professionals section is aimed at you; and the site also extends an open invitation to "come join the fellowship." The site does not publish a fixed directory of meeting times or contact names in the material available here, so treat it as a gateway to those resources rather than the full listing itself.

If You Are Looking for Support

Start with the Need Help? section. This is the site's entry point for anyone seeking recovery support or information about Narcotics Anonymous in the region.

From there, the practical next step is to look for meeting information. The site invites visitors to "come join the fellowship at" a listed location, which indicates that meeting-related content exists on the site, but the specific days, times, and addresses are not fixed in the source material and depend on what the site currently lists. Check the site directly for the current schedule rather than relying on a cached or third-party listing.

If you are not sure where to begin, the general pattern for NA regions applies: the regional site points you toward local meetings, and the meetings themselves are where newcomers typically get oriented.

If You Are a Professional

The For Professionals section is written for people who encounter addiction in a professional capacity — for example, counselors, treatment staff, correctional staff, or healthcare workers who want to refer someone to NA or learn how the fellowship operates.

This section is separate from the newcomer-facing content, so if you are looking for a meeting for yourself, use Need Help? instead. If you are looking for information to pass along to a client or patient, For Professionals is the relevant area.

The Adopt An Inmate Program

One concrete program described on the site is Adopt An Inmate, run by a subcommittee of the region. Its purpose is to provide copies of the book Narcotics Anonymous — commonly called the "Basic Text" — to people who are incarcerated.

How it works, based on the site's description:

• Books are provided to offenders in jails and prisons within the Region's boundaries.
• Books are also sent to patients in other long-term treatment facilities.
• The incarcerated person only needs to request the book for it to be sent.

The page offers a flyer to download and a way to make a donation supporting the program. If you want to request a book for yourself or someone else, or if you want to fund the program, those two actions — downloading the flyer and donating — are the ones the site presents.

Donations and Sponsorship

The site references New Sponsorship and Adopt an Inmate Flyers, and the Adopt An Inmate page includes a Make a Donation option. Donations support the book distribution described above. The site uses Stripe as a payment platform.

Note that the available material does not state whether any part of the site requires login, nor does it list specific prices or suggested donation amounts. Check the site directly for current details before donating.

What the Site Does Not Provide Here

A few things are worth being explicit about, because they are common expectations that this material does not confirm:

• No fixed meeting schedule is included in the source content — only the invitation to join the fellowship.
• No specific contact names, phone numbers, or email addresses are listed in the available excerpts.
• No pricing or membership cost is stated.

For all three, the site itself is the authoritative source, and details may change over time.

Quick Guide

Donations to Tejas Bluebonnet Region support the Adopt An Inmate subcommittee, which buys and ships copies of the Narcotics Anonymous "Basic Text" to incarcerated people in jails and prisons within the Region's boundaries, as well as to patients in other long-term treatment facilities. If you want to give, the site's Adopt An Inmate flyer page provides a "Make a Donation" option, and the site lists Stripe as its payment platform. The program is request-driven: the incarcerated person only needs to ask for the book to be sent.

What the Adopt An Inmate program does

The Adopt An Inmate subcommittee provides copies of the book Narcotics Anonymous, commonly referred to as the "Basic Text," to:

• Offenders in jails and prisons within the Region's boundaries
• Patients in other long-term treatment facilities

The process is simple on the recipient's side — the incarcerated person need only request that the book be sent. The subcommittee handles supplying the copies.

How to donate

1. Go to the Adopt An Inmate flyer page on tbrna.org.
2. Use the Make a Donation option linked there.
3. Complete payment through Stripe, the payment platform listed on the site.

If you want more detail before giving — such as whether there are other ways to contribute or specific instructions tied to a particular flyer — check the site directly, since donation instructions can be updated alongside new flyer releases.

What your donation pays for

Your donation funds the purchase and distribution of Basic Text books. In practical terms, that means a donation helps cover the cost of getting a book into the hands of someone who has requested one in a jail, prison, or long-term treatment facility within the Region.

Before you donate

• Confirm the current flyer. The site references a "New Sponsorship and Adopt an Inmate Flyers Release," so make sure you are working from the most recent version.
• Use the linked donation path. Donations run through the "Make a Donation" option on the flyer page and are processed via Stripe.
• Check for additional instructions. The site may post extra guidance alongside flyer updates; review the page before completing a payment.

The Adopt An Inmate subcommittee of the Tejas Bluebonnet Region sends free copies of Narcotics Anonymous — commonly called the Basic Text — to incarcerated people and to patients in long-term treatment facilities. The program covers jails, prisons, and treatment facilities inside the Region's boundaries. The person who wants a book only has to request it; the subcommittee handles the rest.

Who can receive a book

Two groups are served:

• Incarcerated people in jails and prisons within the Region's boundaries
• Patients in other long-term treatment facilities

The page evidence describes both groups as recipients of the Basic Text. It does not list eligibility rules beyond being in one of those settings and within the Region's geographic scope.

How the request process works

The key detail from the source is simple: the incarcerated person need only request the book be sent. There is no application form described, no cost mentioned to the requester, and no requirement that the person contact the subcommittee directly through a website or app.

What that means in practice:

1. The person makes a request for a Basic Text.
2. The subcommittee provides a copy of the book.
3. The book is sent to the person at the jail, prison, or treatment facility.

The page does not specify the exact channel for making the request (for example, whether it goes through a chaplain, a facility staff member, or a written note). If you are trying to help someone request a book, the safest step is to use the contact options on tbrna.org to confirm the current request route before sending anything.

Geographic scope

The program is limited to the Region's boundaries. A jail, prison, or treatment facility outside the Tejas Bluebonnet Region is not covered by this subcommittee. If the facility is outside the Region, the request would need to go to the NA body that serves that area instead.

Flyers and donations

The subcommittee offers two ways for others to get involved:

• Download the flyer — the page references a flyer for the Adopt An Inmate program, and a separate release covers new sponsorship and Adopt An Inmate flyers.
• Make a donation — donations fund the books that get sent. The site lists Stripe as a payment platform.

Donating does not enroll you in anything or assign you a specific person; it supports the book supply that the subcommittee distributes.

What the page does not say

A few things are not covered in the available page evidence, so treat them as open questions rather than assumptions:

• Whether there is any cost to the incarcerated person or facility (none is mentioned, but the page does not state "free" explicitly)
• The exact mailing or request procedure
• Any limit on how many books one person can request
• Turnaround time from request to delivery

For those details, check tbrna.org directly or contact the Region through the "Need Help?" or "For Professionals" sections listed on the site.

tbrna.org is the website of the Tejas Bluebonnet Region, a Narcotics Anonymous (NA) regional service body. The site serves three broad audiences: people looking for help with a drug problem, NA members in the region, and professionals who want to refer clients to NA. Its most concrete published program is the Adopt An Inmate subcommittee, which sends copies of the NA Basic Text to incarcerated people and to patients in long-term treatment facilities within the region's boundaries.

What the Region does

A regional service body in Narcotics Anonymous exists to coordinate and support the NA groups and service committees inside a defined geographic area. The Tejas Bluebonnet Region carries out that role for its part of Texas, and its website acts as the public entry point for:

• Meetings and fellowship — the site invites visitors to "come join the fellowship," pointing people toward NA meetings in the region.
• Help for individuals — a "Need Help?" section addresses people who think they may have a drug problem.
• Support for professionals — a "For Professionals" section speaks to counselors, treatment staff, and others who work with drug users and may want to connect them to NA.
• Regional programs and announcements — including sponsorship materials and the Adopt An Inmate flyer.

The Adopt An Inmate program

This is the program the site describes in the most detail. The Adopt An Inmate subcommittee provides copies of Narcotics Anonymous — commonly called the "Basic Text" — to offenders in jails and prisons inside the region's boundaries. The same books are also sent to patients in other long-term treatment facilities.

The process is deliberately simple: the incarcerated person only has to request that the book be sent. The site offers a downloadable flyer explaining the program and a way to make a donation to fund it.

How to take part

Donations are processed through Stripe, the payment platform linked on the site.

Who the site is for

• People seeking help — start with the "Need Help?" section to find NA meetings and understand what NA is.
• NA members — use the site for regional news, sponsorship flyers, and service opportunities such as Adopt An Inmate.
• Professionals — the "For Professionals" section explains how NA can complement treatment and how to refer someone to meetings.

What to keep in mind

The site is a regional service site, not a central NA office, so meeting and program details apply to the Tejas Bluebonnet Region's boundaries rather than everywhere. If you are outside that area, your local NA region will have its own equivalent resources. For anything involving a specific jail or facility's rules on receiving books, check with that facility directly, since mail policies vary.
