Where can I find storm chasing groups, information, and conferences or meetings near San Marcos, TX?

Question

I am trying to find people and groups in or near San Marcos, TX who are into severe weather or know a thing or 2 about storm chasing. I have just started learning about the mechanics of storms, how tornadoes form and where to position yourself in the storm as a start to my storm chasing hobby. Any helpful information on beginning your storm chasing hobby or where to go and look for information on storm chasing is greatly appreciated! I have already signed up for STORMTRACK and I have SKYWARN bookmarked.

The further radar has to extend out to detect severe weather, the less effective it becomes at detecting exactly what is happening.  That’s when storm spotters play an invaluable and life-saving role.

Jeff Draper found the Texas Severe Storms Intercept Unit, or TSSI, 14 years ago.  He formed the group to help local media and emergency services identify and respond to powerful storms, notably tornadoes, so the public can be informed faster and more accurately about the potential danger."
