Driving directions to TSTA: The Texas State Teachers Association building is located at the corner of 12th and Lavaca in downtown Austin. From MoPac, take Enfield/15th Street to Guadalupe. Turn RIGHT (South) on Guadalupe to 12th Street, then LEFT (East) one block. The building is on the Northwest corner. If there are spaces in the patio parking area, enter the parking ramp and park, otherwise there should be ample free parking on the street (parking meters are free after 5:30 PM). If you find yourself on the grounds of the State Capitol, you have gone too far.
