Great resource for Texas GIS Imagery needs, the new TNRIS WMS image
server can provide great basemaps for projects in Texas.  They work
pretty well.  Can't really beat on demand 6" imagery for free!

Dear State of Texas Aerial Imagery User,

I am happy to announce the availability of an OGC-compliant WMS (Web
Mapping Service) from TNRIS featuring a variety of orthoimage
datasets.

The service URL is:
http://raster.tnris.org/lizardtech/iserv/ows?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&
Do not click on the URL.  Instructions for accessing the WMS in ArcGIS
and ERDAS Imagine are at the bottom of this email.

Currently, the WMS includes the following image catalogs:

Statewide - one catalog per UTM zone for each
NAIP 2004 1m CIR
TOP 2008 & 2009 50cm NC & CIR (there is no z13 and only partial
coverage for z14 in 2009)
NAIP 2010 1m NC
Geologic Atlas of Texas 250K

Regional
TFS 2008 1m CIR - 13 East TX counties
HPIDS 2009 Galveston 6in NC & CIR
HPIDS 2010 Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal Co.'s 6in NC
HPIDS 2010 Smith 6in & 1ft NC
USGS 2008 30cm Amarillo, Lubbock, & McAllen NC
USGS 2008 30cm Border NC
CAPCOG 2009 6in NC

Planned Datasets included:
NAIP 2010 1m CIR
TOP 1996 1m CIR
HPIDS 2010 Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal Co.'s 6in CIR
HPIDS 2010 Smith 6in & 1ft CIR
HPIDS 2011 6in & 1ft Brazos Co. NC & CIR
IBWC 2011 6in Border NC

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Gayla

ArcGIS 10 instructions:
In ArcMap, choose Add Data > GIS Servers > Add WMS Server
Insert the URL http://raster.tnris.org/lizardtech/iserv/ows?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&
and click OK.
Either add all image catalogs at once using raster.tnris.org:80 or
drill down to add the individual datasets.

ERDAS Imagine 2011 instructions:
Choose Open > Files of type:  Web Mapping Service (*.wms) > Connect
In GeoServices Explorer, choose Add Service
GeoService Type:  Web Mapping Server
Insert the URL http://raster.tnris.org/lizardtech/iserv/ows?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&
and click OK.
Back on the main Imagine window, right-click in the Retriever space >
Open GeoService
Find raster.tnris.org:80 from the Select a Server dropdown > OK
Expand the WMS and drag desired image catalogs onto the View

I was unable to use the WMS in ERDAS Imagine 2010.

The WMS is compatible in AutoCAD and Microstation.
