Several different high-precision radial-velocity programs are now underway at The University of Texas. This paper discusses the aspects of these programs that are related to the problem of detection of extrasolar planetary systems. This includes the McDonald Observatory Planetary Search program on the McDonald 2.7-m Harlan Smith Telescope, an accompanying program of high-resolution stellar line profile measurement, the European Southern Observatory planetary search program, the Keck Hyades survey, and the Hobby∙Eberly Telescope planet surveys. Here, we summarize each of these programs, and present recent results from each.
