In 1979 the City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department granted the Emilio Fernandez Workshop its first contract. A crew of 11 clients was hired to maintain the El Corredor District Downtown. Due to the high quality of work the Emilio Fernandez Workshop was awarded another contract in October 1982 that required 3 additional crews to maintain different park locations in El Paso. The budget at that point was approximately $100,000. Soon after, the state of Texas also awarded the Emilio Fernandez workshop additional contracts under Texas Department of Transportation.

In 1990 the Emilio Fernandez workshop changed its name to Task Masters and moved to its present location with additional room to accommodate its clients.

Due to a change in state legislation Border TM Industries, Inc. was established as a separate entity on April 5, 1995. Task Masters continued to provided services to clients while Border TM Industries, Inc. became an employer. Border TM was established as a Non-Profit 501(c) (3) organization. At that time Border TM was the only employer of individuals with mental disabilities.

Due to an additional change in state legislation, on March 1, 2001 Border TM Industries, Inc. became a private entity and separated from Life Management Center, an entity of the state.

Since then Border TM has continued to grow by acquiring additional contracts along the way. We continue to contract with the City of El Paso under the Parks and Recreation Department and Environmental Services, the State of Texas under Texas Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety, El Paso International Airport and our Assembly department contracts with local, private companies. In 2009 Border TM Industries, Inc. began operating as Xceed Resources with an operating budget of over $2,500,000.
