One emphasis of the club is on professional coaching for elite players and juniors in the greater Houston area. In 2016, the Texas Table Tennis was awarded a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition by Texas Congressman Al Green for its long-time service and contribution to the promotion and development of table tennis in the greater Houston area (the presentation was to TTT Chairman and Founder James Shu).
