Corpus pass (deepen-x slice 09212352-26, 2026-09-22): NEW FOUNDING-ERA FACT
Wider grep (Dallas mentions in the TAA headquarters memoirs) surfaced a new record: under second TAA national chair Yi-Ho Cheng (term 1970-07-01 – 1972-06-30), the Dallas association, led by His-I Huang, was one of six local associations that joined TAA — TAA held 34 chapters at the end of that term (Our Journeys 76 (English), TAA 全美總會史). HOLD: conflict — TAH directory lists the chapter as founded 1974 as a non-profit, while the headquarters memoir records a Dallas association already affiliating with TAA between 1970-07 and 1972-06 (never auto-merged; the 1974 date may refer to incorporation rather than founding).

The Taiwanese Association of America Dallas-Fort Worth (TAA-DFW, 達拉斯台灣同鄉會) is a regional chapter of the Taiwanese Association of America (TAA, 全美台灣同鄉會), the national umbrella organization of Taiwanese American community associations. The chapter serves the Taiwanese American community across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in Texas. TAA-DFW was founded in 1974 as a non-profit organization.
Role in the Community
- Also known as 達福台灣同鄉會 (Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter, TAA). TAH Foundation holds a dedicated chapter record (2015-12-18) — TAH chapter record, 達福台灣同鄉會.
- Affiliation era: the Dallas association under His-I Huang joined TAA during national chair Yi-Ho Cheng’s 1970–1972 term, one of six new chapters that brought TAA to 34 chapters (Our Journeys 76 (English)) — see HOLD above on the 1974 date.
- 1994-11-26 — hosted 感恩節音樂晚會 in Dallas, TX — TAH 檔案 79, 感恩節音樂晚會.
- Peer DFW community institutions in the record include 達拉斯台灣基督長老教會, 達拉斯台心合唱團 (Formosa Chorus of Dallas/TaiHsin), 達拉斯台灣基督教會, and 新台灣基金會(達拉斯) — see RPC Dallas, 台心合唱團, Formosan Christian Church, 新台灣基金會(達拉斯).
- Parallel DFW Taiwanese civic life in the record also includes the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce in Dallas-Fort Worth (Greater Dallas Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce, est. 1987), whose New Year Gala is documented at TCC DFW New Year Gala — a separate organization from the chapter. Dallas community figures appear in the Houston TCC founding memoir too: 大達拉斯台灣商會 representative Wen-hsin Wu sat on the first TCC management committee, and the Chin-huang Tsai family from Dallas performed the lion dance at the 1992-07-11 ribbon cutting (Our Journeys 31 (English), Our Journeys 233 (English)).
