    I’m a newly licensed RPLS in Texas. Most of my office experience is in Oil and Gas. Not having much experience on the land title survey side The Table A Talk has given me the confidence I need to feel comfortable with what I’m doing. Keep it up! We’re all benefiting and I’m grateful for the podcast!
