I don't know anything about them, beyond what their website
says.  

Hearing from management people involved in the shuttle debris
search, I wondered why there was no apparent coordination nor
common qualification rating system among the mounted units that
responded, given that TUMPOT purports to offer standardized
training across Texas and to maintain a directory of all 102
mounted units in the state.
