Here are some links to website you could research.

The following was taken directly from the Trauma systems website :

Funding sources

Training Funding

Funding available for Emergency Care Attendant training

Does your area need initial training for your first responder

organization or EMS service? Are you located in a rural or underserved

area? Do you have at least three people who are interested in taking the

training? And are these individuals willing to commit a year of service

to your organization after achieving ECA certification?

If you answered yes to the questions above, your organization may be

eligible for a free ECA training course conducted in your area at times

and locations convenient for your students. The Texas Legislature

recognized the increasing difficulty of recruiting and retaining EMS

personnel in rural and underserved areas of our state. HB 2446, passed

during the 2001 legislative session, includes a requirement that the

Office " provide or facilitate the provision of initial training for

emergency care attendants, if the training is not available locally. "

If you are interested in training, contact Arlen Bolenbaucher at

512/834-6700, ext. 2706 or download an application.
