Houston Brick Club brings the LEGO® fan hobby to life by creating hands-on, in-person experiences that connect builders of all ages through community events, collaborative displays, workshops, and monthly meetings. The club regularly hosts public exhibitions at museums, conventions, hospitals, and family events where members showcase custom LEGO® creations and interact directly with the public.
The organization also provides ongoing opportunities for members to actively build and learn together. Monthly club meetings often include themed build challenges, parts swapping, collaborative projects, and social gatherings at local hobby stores and community venues. Recent examples include Star Wars and Waterscape themed build challenges hosted at Bricks & Minifigs locations around the Houston area.
Houston Brick Club participates in educational and outreach-focused activities that introduce LEGO® building to children and families in engaging ways. Members have displayed creations at children’s museums and hospitals, participated in maker-style events, and helped organize Brick Rodeo, a large multi-day LEGO® fan convention in Texas. These events encourage creativity, engineering, storytelling, and problem-solving through hands-on interaction with LEGO® bricks.
The club also supports workshops and STEM-focused learning opportunities. For example, Houston Brick Club members have led motorized LEGO® workshops where participants learned how to integrate movement and engineering concepts into their builds using motor kits and guided instruction.
By combining public exhibitions, collaborative building activities, educational workshops, themed challenges, and family-friendly community events, Houston Brick Club creates an active environment where LEGO® fans can share ideas, develop skills, inspire creativity, and build lasting connections with other enthusiasts throughout the Houston area.
Please see our Events page for information about specific activities.
Houston Brick Club was originally known as TexLUG-Houston. “TexLUG” stands for Texas LEGO® Users Group. There are other similar LUGs in in Austin (TexLug), San Antonio (TexLugSA), and Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFWLUG). In addition, Texas Brick Railroad is a state-wide LEGO® Users Group with a focus on trains. In 2019 the group simplified its name to Houston Brick Club.
Every summer, Houston Brick Club members help put on Brick Rodeo, a four-day LEGO® fan convention and exhibition. More information can be found at BrickRodeo.com.
